I work on my master thesis with the working title "system competence for people in leadership". So I assume that system theories, like synergetics, chaos theory as well as system thinking and system practice could create a solid theoretical framework and some practical implications when it comes to empower, coach or educate leaders.
So do you know of (empirical) research about "agility", "vuca", "system thinking", "system practice" or "system competence" in the context of leadership?
Any ideas are welcomed! Thanks in advance .... Marcus
