Systems Thinking Made Easy: A Toyota-Inspired Lean Leadership Lesson (12-minute Leadership Lessons by Mike Morrison, Ph.D.)

By Mike Morrison

SeriesThis topic of systems thinking may make your eyes glaze over - but hang in there. Your attention could not be needed more at this point in our collective human history. It is time for us to take the next leap in thinking - to systems thinking. Quite simply it is the art of seeing things as interconnected and interdependent - part of a larger, more meaningful pattern. Without restraint we accept the notion that keeping the larger picture in mind enhances our personal responses to problems; brings needed perspective to big decisions; and helps to shape lasting solutions to our deepest problems. But our capabilities as systems thinkers are . . . well . . . hopelessly human. We will take a journey together to not only explore - but to build some new capabilities in systems thinking. First, we will see how systems thinking is not really "new thinking" at all - but has been the aim of many cultures that have sought the elusive wisdom that comes from seeing the whole. Let the journey begin!
