The Systemic Leadership Approach 6
o The prime task of leadership is to orient the group or organization to new realities. o One important thing leaders must avoid is defining new realities without ‘reality testing’ them with representative of the various constituents of the system or organization.

Confidence and patience
Lack of hubris‐willing to co‐create the future without having to demand all the accolades.
