The Modern Leadership Issue - 36
The Ripple:
The powerful combination of conscious
leadership and systems thinking
by Sarah Ehrnschwender
" A cloud masses, the sky darkens, leaves twist upward, and we know
that it will rain. We also know that after the storm, the runoff will
feed into groundwater miles away, and the sky will grow clear by
tomorrow. You can only understand the system of a rainstorm by
contemplating the whole, not any individual part of the pattern. "
- Peter Senge, The Fifth Discipline
As leaders, we are the designers, transformers, and redesigners of systems
both within and outside our organizations. Understanding the interdependency
of the many connections within the whole is critical to leading with positive
impact. When we combine conscious awareness of these connections with
intentional integrity and a mindset of abundance, we're able to lead in a way
that supports human flourishing.
Conscious leadership impacts innovation, trust, and belonging. While there
are individual practices that leaders can take, we first must understand where
we are within the broader system and how our leadership decisions impact a
broad range of stakeholders.
