Hands on with Systemic Leadership

Well, been busy the past few months getting settled into a new job standing up a new organization (yes, adding to the bureaucracy). I was tapped as an "enterprise systems engineer" responsible to provide architectures, concepts of operations, requirements, and other technical support to future visions.

In this job, there are people, like a former President of a Harris division, who are very interested in understanding how to best set up the organization based on the specific leadership capabilities, personal traits, and other factors of the senior leaders. Fortunately, so far the office is relatively flat in organization, so I have insight into the workings of the seniors.

I'm hoping to start posting my observations from this experience - good, bad, and ugly to see how paying attention to the systemic (or in places where we fail to pay attention) leads to what kinds of behaviors in the organization.
