Leaders need more than technical skills and traditional talent to move beyond coping to be effective. Driven by Complexity, legitimatized by Neural Science Research, Mindfulness practices improve leadership capacity and capability in ways not thought possible until recently. Navigating Organizational Systems: Language, Tools, and Contexts for Systems-Based Improvement Message from Bernice Moore-Valdez, ICO Consulting I've used systems thinking in a number of different ways—solving problems, implementing improvements, thinking through possible implications of actions. I have found Jean Tully’s method of navigating through systems provides the most effective and comprehensive set of tools, language, practices, contexts, and methods for looking thoroughly at any tough and messy situation. It helps you to find the optimal leverage points and actions for improving whatever system you’re working on. Learning with Jean, systems scientist, expert sailor, and engaging facilitator, will make navigating through systems and creating systems-based improvements not only feasible and sustainable, but also fun and exciting. I invite and encourage you to join Jean Tully and ICO for Navigating Organizational Systems, Thursday September 8th and 15th and October 6th to learn a systemic approach for better understanding and improving the systems you are a part of, wherever you work.
