Mistakes Made and Lessons Learned – Another Approach to Systems Thinking - Kathleen K. Wiseman, MBA
We all make mistakes; it is an inevitable part of being human and a critical part of developing critical thinking and increasing effectiveness. This presentation uses examples of mistakes made when consulting to business firms as a way to strengthen one consultant’s resolve to think systems with greater rigor.

Hierarchy, Coalitions, and Social Influence in Family Business - Anne S. McKnight, MSW, EdD
This presentation explores leadership in two groups. In the first, the long-time leader of an organization is challenged by a younger colleague but maintains his role by marshalling the support of his staff. The upstart recruits another colleague to form a coalition to overthrow the leader. The role of the relationship system as central to leadership is highlighted. In the second group, the tension between a leader and a challenger is reduced by the efforts of an individual to stay out of a coalition and to relate to both individuals. Understanding the power of triangles in an organization is explored, as well as the effectiveness of neutrality in relating to leadership conflicts.
