Interesting insights! The first tip is one of the most important in my opinion. Understanding the beat of a system through data analysis allows you to make data-driven decisions. Without analyzing the system it is not very useful.
This is a great article with straight advice on using one of the, if not, the most important concept that should be known to everyone. A hitch that I have is that no practical advice is given to making system concepts part of one's language; while advice could be figured out for the rest easily, this one stumped me. Could you shine some light on this part?
Thank you, this is an excellent, thought-provoking article. You’ve provided practical, thoughtful examples to back up each of the ten points you’ve listed. Reading through the article I can see how this wisdom will benefit anyone working on complex projects and tasks - or ‘wicked’ environments that David Epstein talks about in his book ‘Range’
Hey Maciej, I understand what you're saying, and more in-depth and practical examples are in the works. I just need to understand them better and test them myself. I think it's important to understand the basics first and build up from that. Out of interest, what specific examples are you looking for because that statement itself is abstract?
Your reflections from serving in the Royal Marines reminds me of my dad who served in the army. He never complained, was filled with optimism and humor, and was a passionate learner.
Systems thinking is the bridge between digital efficiency and human wisdom. We cannot optimize one part of our life while ignoring the rest. True balance comes from understanding how our tools, our habits, and our environment breathe together 👣
Systems shape outcomes, but wisdom shapes systems. Master the patterns, challenge assumptions, and always keep learning
You hit the nail on the head.

I really was impressed with your post. It felt like you were reading the narrative in my head. You wrote with clarity, and truth. Thank you.
Thanks Lacey, I appreciate the kind words. Just a word of warning though—I am a mind reader as well 😅

All this is nice but by far too abstract. Please provide specific examples.

Thank you for your educational posts!
Thanks Cathie, I would say i have those traits 9 times out of 10. My wife might not agree with humour though!
