Leading in Complexity 2024: An Initial Enquiry in Tasmania
Leading in Complexity delves into the distinctive challenges and opportunities for developing leadership within the Tasmanian context. Through an in-person workshop and survey, the report draws on the experiences of dozens of leaders across multiple sectors, to illustrate the challenges of leading productively and inclusively in today’s environment.
The report explores 14 essential complexity leadership skills ranging from self-awareness and resilience to systems thinking and digital competency. Recommendations include embedding these skills into educational and leadership programs, fostering collective leadership development, and establishing conflict resolution frameworks to address polarisation and competing priorities.
This work is more than an inquiry into complexity leadership—it is a call to action. Understanding the challenges Tasmanian leaders face and the skills they need is just the first step; real impact comes from applying these insights.
