Systems Thinking

Most failures aren't caused by broken parts but by broken relationships between parts that individually work fine. Systems thinking reveals that the behavior you observe emerges from structure — change the structure (incentives, feedback loops, information flows) and you change the behavior without ever touching the components. The counterintuitive truth is that the best leverage points are often the least obvious ones, and the most obvious interventions frequently make things worse.
