Relational Leadership Tools

Systems work is about bringing together multiple perspectives and sectors toward transformational change in the structures and processes that are holding us in place. It requires that we develop new relational practices that allow us to listen carefully and intentionally, and to be fully open and curious. It also means that we need to build collective cultures of care and respect that allow us to navigate the complex work that we are taking on. And as we do this, we can create generative space that allows new ideas and the possibility of a new futures to emerge.
