Systemisk ledelse handler om at få øje på muligheder, at se problemer som uindfriede drømme og have fokus på, hvordan det sprog, vi bruger, hele tiden er med til at skabe de resultater, vi opnår. Bogen giver indsigt i teorierne bag den systemiske og anerkendende tænkning og er en platform for at forstå ledelse, kommunikation og relationer i organisationer. Den giver samtidig idéer og inspiration til konkret ledelsespraksis i form af igangsættelse af værdi- og strategiprocesser, gruppe- og teamarbejde, systemisk coaching, konfliktopløsning og reflekterende team. Bogen udkom i sin første udgave i 2005. 2. udgaven er en opdateret og genskrevet version med nye kapitler og vinkler på værdiskabende ledelsespraksis. Den indeholder bl.a. nye kapitler om konstruktionstanken, organisatorisk anerkendelse, strategi, værdiskabende møder og nye og mere praksisnære begreber til at forstå og arbejde med spørgsmålstyper i det coachende lederskab.

Developing Relational Leadership offers the scholar, the practitioner, and most importantly, the scholar-practitioner an exuberance of riches. The authors provide a deep foray into the worlds of systemic, cybernetic and constructionist ideas, while bringing those ideas to the worlds of leadership and organizational change and practice. The authors share cases that present tools for exploring these ideas and practices. While the authors position the two halves of this volume as "tools for thinking" and "tools for action," marking this as a book about both theory and practice, the reader experiences "tools for thinking about the relationship between thinking and action" - and this connection is quite a treat. Relationship and context are continually in the foreground. Developing Relational Leadership looks at the importance of the questions that we ask - and what our questions do for systemic inquiry and praxis. The focus on diverse ways of asking powerful questions is worth the read itself. This book is for those who are interested in systems theory, cybernetics, constructionism, and communication theory, as well as those interested in leadership, coaching, and organization development. The authors, true to their reliance on positioning ourselves in a multitude of roles, invite us to converse with an ecology of ideas, and open space for a profound reflective practice. A joyful read that will change how systems practitioners think and systems theoreticians act.
