Spring 2022

We are pleased to announce that we have now registered the Systems Leadership Community Interest Company, a not-for-profit organisation that will pay for, or subsidise work with organisations that otherwise would not be able to afford consultancy. We can also use these funds to help train and develop individuals. More information will be available soon.

With the end of the Covid restrictions in sight and a chance to reflect how the pandemic has affected our lives we would like to announce the publication of Organisations and Leadership during Covid-19: Studies using Systems Leadership Theory a collaboration between members of the Systems Leadership Development Association.

All of us have direct experience of how the Covid-19 Pandemic has affected the world around us, our families, the people with whom we interact and work and the different regions and countries where we live. These experiences are part of a universal shared context. This study concerns a particular aspect of that context - organisational and leadership responses to the Pandemic. The purpose of this book is to demonstrate how the body of knowledge known as Systems Leadership can be used to better explain why organisational and leadership responses to the Covid-19 Pandemic were effective (or not). Examples will demonstrate good practice but also help understand why some were less successful.

The book can be purchased from retailers including Awesome Books, Waterstones and Amazon

Improving Schools Using Systems Leadership was published by Routledge in July 2019. The book explains how Systems Leadership can and has been applied in schools, particularly in Far North Queensland, to bring clarity to the purpose, structure and systems within a school and have a major impact on its success. The authors, Ian Macdonald, Clive Dixon and Tony Tiplady, presented the book at last year's conference and copies are selling well. The book can be purchased at Routledge here.
