Join our LeaP3 cohort for the day for this face to face event at our London offices exploring Systems Leadership with Dr Ian Macdonald.
Systems Leadership enables the leaders in an organisation to create the conditions where people at all levels can work productively to their potential.
Using sound principles about human behaviour, it creates models of good leadership, organisational strategy, systems design, and social process, providing leaders with tools that help to predict people’s behaviour in their organisation.
Systems Leadership also helps to build effective systems which drive productive behaviour and lead to a more effective realisation of the organisation’s purpose.
Systems Leadership has a basis in the work of Elliot Jaques.
It has been developed by Dr Ian Macdonald throughout his career along with Professor Catie Burke of the University of Southern California, and Karl Stewart, first as a Managing Director and now as a consultant.
