Leading Across Systems
Increasingly leaders are required to collaborate and influence beyond their teams and organisations. Success requires us to step into complex and messy spaces.
Leading across systems requires understanding the dynamics of the system you are leading within, and how to collaborate with others to build influence for change.
We work with positional leaders who are accountable for specific projects or deliverables, through to Executives needing to lead strategy, culture and systems.
Our leadership work takes on a developmental lens, identifying a compelling roadmap for leadership growth.
Dolphins inspire a kind of collaborative leadership built on attuned communication and an ability to navigate challenges together.
A wise friend told us recently, logos and egos get in the way of collaboration. Leading across systems requires people to share the work and share the credit.
THE THREE MINDSET SHIFTS OF A SYSTEMS LEADER
From Control to Facilitation
In leading across systems, leaders need to move from doing the work to facilitating change and growth. You still need to be willing to roll up your sleeves though.
From Individual to Collective Success
Too much emphasis is placed on rewarding individual success and talent. Reward collaboration and then you'll see catalytic results.
From Short-term Gains to Long-term Vision
Systems leaders are adept at connecting and communicating immediate actions to long-term visions.
