Abstract
The need for, and content of, training in systems leadership are summarised. With the functioning of institutions and the formulation and implementation of policies critically depending on the knowledge, skills, and motivations of people at every level, self-innovating education and training in systems thinking will be central to produce a new generation of public- and private-sector leaders, experts, teachers, and an informed public competent to understand and act on systemic challenges. Competences in systems leadership are also essential for the design of institutions facilitating the development of multidisciplinary teamwork and interdepartmental strategies and programmes. Five dimensions of inclusivity are consistently helpful for structuring the perspectives on challenges to which systems thinking can be applied: impacts, feedbacks, trade-offs, emergences, and stakeholders. Universally relevant training dimensions include systems principles, qualitative and quantitative methods, simple and complex models, and examples. Training instruments vary depending on the audience and duration of the training.
