This!! You can spot a systems thinker since childhood. Usually the kids who ask a lot of questions”how” questions rather than why but also why. Depending on the reason for knowledge attainment. Most children as they grow up stop thinking in systems because they’re trained to just accept things for face value, others push past it and take it with them into adulthood. Those are the people who more so often become researchers, scientists, analysts, engineers, mechanics, psychologists, chefs etc. it’s not rare either. In my opinion at least. When people can see that the world and our inner selves is built on systems, systems thinking is now not rare but more about metacognition. This one is what I think is not as common. To see yourself, your own patterns, to see where things originate, why they’re there, how they started, discerning, and making choices based on value.

ux designer here, I drive my team crazy with these questions, and I know it. I legitimately cannot work and deliver anything with confidence unless I do all these questions ... oof

Systems thinkers are amazing, but it seems being found/marketing one’s self is significantly more difficult than being a systems thinker itself.

If you gave me seven days to build a house, I’ll spend 6 planning and one day building. It will be a great house.

I am 100% a systems thinker, I always have been. It’s got good and bad things going on with it. Down side: I overthink. Upside: a break is a symptom not a disaster.

Peter Senge’s the 5th Discipline is still relevant today!! Thinking about unintended consequences is fascinating!!

Yes! Interesting point - at least in my experience- is that people become highly annoyed and impatient with system thinkers. It critical I understand the ultimate objective and sometimes it takes asking seemingly unrelated questions that tie in together. And I cannot start until I gather the answer(s)

System thinkers speak precisely, they reframe issues, they start from first principles and work out.

You sir, of all AI related content creators probably give the most valuable advice.

So true: but inexperienced individuals view the questions as bothersome because they read an article on Medium. It can be frustrating working with B-Teams

As someone who lives, breathes, moves, and thinks in systems from inception (earliest memories were systems thoughts) this was incredibly validating. Yep. It’s so hard to quantify. Or even to explain how it is my brain works. This was excellent. Saving this video for future use!

I also want to point out that you can out people in situations with constant fires and escalations and then penalize them for not taking a moment to ask those questions and be strategic.

I didn't know I was systems thinker. I learned by people telling me that about myself (and usually not kindly, ha). I'm grateful for it, though.

This is so interesting and I'm realizing it's exactly how I think naturally, but it has never been particularly successful for me in work settings. I find people get frustrated by my desire to look at things this way and I have often been told it is an overly broad approach or the questions are ones that can't be answered ahead of time. Thoughts?
