“General system theory, therefore, is a general science of wholeness… The meaning of the somewhat mystical expression, ‘The whole is more than the sum of its parts’ is simply that constitutive characteristics are not explainable from the characteristics of the isolated parts…” - Ludwig von Bertalanffy

Family Systems Thinking Systems Theory
applied to emotional systems
• Dr. Murray Bowen– Family therapist– “Science of the family.”
• Rabbi Dr. Edwin H. Friedman– “Generation to Generation”– “Reinventing Leadership”– “A Failure of Nerve”

Systems Thinking
• To think “System” is to think in a unique way.
• Interrelationships exist among discrete parts.
• Things do not exist independently, only in relationship to something else.
![Page 8: SUULE 2009](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051416/56813d12550346895da6d1d7/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Systems Thinking
Whole cannot be understood by simply understanding each part.
Things only function as they do because of the presence of one another.

Self-Differentiation
The ability of a individual to remain an individual and still connected to others within an emotional system
Maturity
Not catching or spreading anxiety
Not taking things personally
![Page 11: SUULE 2009](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051416/56813d12550346895da6d1d7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
To be in the system - but not of the
system.

HomeostasisThe reality that the system has more effect on the parts than the parts do on the system.
We will bounce back to the same old rut every time.
The more things change the more they stay the same.
We like things just the way they are - even if we say we don’t.
![Page 14: SUULE 2009](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051416/56813d12550346895da6d1d7/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Homeostasis
A system will maintain the status-quo.
The system fights influences that will produce a change unless or until things become painfully intolerable.

Identified Patient
• Conflict seems to focus around one particular team member. The conflict might manifest itself as either organizational or interpersonal issues, or both, but whatever the problem seems to be, the problem is never the problem. Rick Brenner

Identified Patient
The focus of conflictis often a role —it can be filled
by anyone

Extended Family Field
The baggage we bring with us into every community we join.
The bags that were carefully packed by our parents whose bags were carefully packed by our grandparents.
Tri-generational at least.

What are our responsibilities as leaders of covenantal faith
communities?
Who and what do we serve?
How do we function?
![Page 28: SUULE 2009](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051416/56813d12550346895da6d1d7/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Responsibility of Leadership
We can only change a relationship to which we belong. Therefore, the way to bring change to the relationship of two others (and no one said it is easy) is to try to maintain a well-defined relationship with each, and to avoid taking responsibility for their relationship with each other. - Dr Edwin Friedman

If power is given and excepted, triangulation is complete. If the third person accepts the responsibility of the secret and the burden of the anxiety it is triangulation.

Great Leaders
• Lead by presence and functioning
• Not technique and data
• Being and doing

Leadership is the spiritual process of discerning what one believes (clarity), acting on that belief in the public arena (decisiveness), and standing behind that action despite the varied responses of people (courage).
- Rev. Frank Thomas

It’s Lonely at the Top
To lead is to no longer be a member.

Leadership
The bad leader is hated by the people.
The good leader is loved by the people.
The great leader leaves the people
understanding they did it themselves.
- Taoist Saying
