In addition to the personal leadership principles and practices, JLC Team Leadership Development demonstrates the importance of systems thinking as a way to understand continual change, interdependency, and complexity found within organizations.
The purpose of this segment is to develop a common understanding among individuals about the fundamentals of systems thinking and how it relates to leadership.
At the end of this segment, each participant will be able to communicate complexity and interdependency using the language of systems thinking.
The ideas covered in this program include:
Establishing Meeting Ground Rules and Meeting Methodology
As most leaders spend the majority of their time in meetings large and small, long and short, JLC offers a meeting methodology that supports the principles and practices of Conversational Leadership.
The purpose of this segment is to develop a shared meaning about principles and practices for more effective meetings.
At the end of this segment each participant will be able to design and facilitate more effective meetings that are tied to the vision and results of the organization.
“STEARING” a Meeting
Successful meetings in organizations, at all levels and for all purposes, can become significantly more effective and productive if they follow a carefully simple protocol.
The purpose of the this segment is to develop a mutual understanding among the participants about what “STEAR” means and how it’s use increases meeting effectiveness.
At the end of this segment each participant will be able to “STEAR” effective meetings that are tied to the enterprise vision.
Iceberg
Systems thinking is best understood through pictures, and it is first introduced through a picture of an iceberg.
The purpose of this segment is to develop a mutual understanding among individuals about systems thinking using the analogy of an iceberg, which shows a new way of thinking about patterns that we see in
our systems and how those patterns are influenced by mental models and vision.
At the end of this segment each participant will be able to identify patterns and their commensurate structures and mental models.
Behavior over Time Graphs (BOTG’s)
Systems thinking is a language to communicate complexity, and best understood through pictures. One way to do that is through drawing a Behavior Over Time Graph.
The purpose of this segment is to develop a shared understanding among the individuals about the usefulness of BOTG’s, and help them understand how these pictures can tell a story.
At the end of this segment, each participant will be able to use BOTG’s to establish stories about systemic issues to identify leverage points.
Fixes that Fail, Shifting the Burden, and Limits to Growth
Once the foundation of systems thinking is in place, we can now talk about the patterns we are seeing and their known or assumed causes and impact. To help us do this, we will explore a series of systems archetypes, the most prevalent of which are Fixes that Fail,
Shifting the Burden, and Limits to Growth.
The purpose of this segment is to develop a common understanding among the individuals about the primary systems archetypes, and help them understand how these archetypes show up in their organization.
At the end of this segment each participant will be able to use the system archetypes in their organizations and design commensurate tactics and strategies.
Leading Toward Desired Conditions in the System
Systems thinking helps us as leaders understand what is happening in our organization in ways that other leadership approaches cannot. It allows us to see, draw and talk about change, complexity, root causes, and long term effects.
The purpose of this segment is to develop a shared meaning for how to use systems thinking and the
systems archetypes to design systems that yield the organization’s desired results.
At the end of this segment each participant will be able to use systems thinking principles and practices to design systems that allow them reach their vision.
