The System

We often find ourselves running from the system.‚  The system creates for us an unbearable expression of authority, crying to be deconstructed and reconstructed.‚  To do so would require the approval of those who operate the system and thrive in its authority.‚  Deconstructing the system affects control.‚  When you have fought so long for control, you do not easily give it up.

I found this past week a flawed system.‚  It needs to be deconstructed and reconstructed.‚  Power and control need to b in the hands of those who live within the context of the system, not those who hardly interact within it.

Being a systems guy, a macro-leader, and a believer in complexity (or chaotic systems), if I were asked my opinion of how to deconstruct the system, an opinion would be offered.

David has been a systems thinker most of his life. He has started three businesses as well as designed and developed systems and processes in existing organizations. He has a Doctorate in Leadership and has also done additional post-graduate work in communications.

He has also pastored 3 churches and loves to think about, write about and podcast about scripture, theology, and leadership.

    So, what are your thoughts?
