Senge's Laws of Systems Thinking
Senge's Laws of Systems Thinking highlight how complex systems behave and how we can better understand them. They include principles like: understanding that small changes in one part can lead to significant effects elsewhere (the "tragedy of the commons"), recognizing that fixing parts of a system without addressing the whole can create more problems, and that mental models shape how we see the system. Overall, these laws emphasize that real change requires seeing the big picture, understanding interconnected parts, and recognizing patterns over time to make sustainable improvements, rather than just focusing on immediate fixes.
