Episode Notes

Are leaders like the President, Prime Minister, or CEO just a puppet? Beholden to forces beyond their control? In this episode we look at how relational systems can make or break the success of a CEO. When humans get together, they naturally create roles, functions, and hierarchies. Well meaning HR departments create organizational charts but humans do not neatly fit inside boxes. Unless hidden loyalties are mapped and revealed, a shadow system might be secretly running the show. The good news is that we can bring light to these relational systems through the methodology of business constellation, which allows us to bring awareness and reconciliation and create Functional Human-Systems™. Skip the systems thinking and step inside a map of the system itself.
