Thought Leader Videos on Adpative Leadership, Complexity and Systems Thinking - Complexity Leadership Videos

Understanding complexity and systems thinking has never been more essential for leaders navigating today’s interconnected challenges. This video library brings together a curated collection of complexity leadership videos featuring Dr Josie McLean alongside respected thought leaders whose work shapes modern approaches to organisational and societal change. These videos explore how systems behave, why patterns emerge, and what leaders can do to work effectively in dynamic, non-linear environments.

Across these recordings you’ll find practical explanations of systems thinking concepts, reflections on real-world complexity, and insights on how leaders can shift from traditional command-and-control approaches to more adaptive, sensemaking-focused practices. Josie’s own videos draw from decades of experience helping organisations, communities and teams work with complexity rather than against it. Her clear, grounded guidance helps leaders recognise underlying patterns, engage constructively with uncertainty and design conditions that enable people to flourish.

You’ll also discover contributions from international thinkers whose perspectives deepen and broaden the conversation: from living systems theory to organisational ecology, collaborative governance, cultural change, and the human dynamics that shape complex environments. Each video is selected for rigour, relevance and real-world application, supporting leaders who want meaningful insight without academic jargon or superficial quick fixes.

This library is designed as a resource you can return to whenever you need clarity, inspiration or a new way of seeing the issues you’re working with. Whether you’re exploring systems thinking for the first time or deepening an existing practice, these videos offer accessible, thought-provoking support for leaders at every level.

As you explore, you’ll find links to related articles, programs and case studies that expand on many of the themes presented here. New videos will be added over time, helping you stay connected to emerging thinking across complexity, systems leadership and purposeful organisational change.
