Leading by DESIGN offers periodic leadership workshops and events open to our alumni and other interested leaders.
Living Systems & Leadership
Uncertainty and change can create a great deal of anxiety, and anxiety within a system
spreads like wildfire. How we respond as leaders has a ripple effect on everyone around us.
We define a “living system” as any group of people connected through shared emotional patterns, behaviors, and norms. When one part of a system shifts, the whole system feels it.
And individuals and groups often perceive uncertainty as a threat and react accordingly. But strong leaders understand the living system and their role within it. They’re able to stay connected yet remain calm in anxious situations. They lean into their beliefs and values, lead with courage, and serve as the greatest determinant of whether positive change occurs.
Join us for a free, in-person session where we’ll explore the concept of Living Systems
and give you practical tools to lead more effectively, especially when your team is
facing stress, complexity, or uncertainty.
Stick around afterward for networking and refreshments on us at Founders Brewing Co.!
