СИСТЕМНОЕ МЫШЛЕНИЕ – КОМПЕТЕНЦИЯ СОВРЕМЕННОГО РУКОВОДИТЕЛЯ

Abstract

The article considers the importance of the systemic thinking of a leader as a key competence of an effective manager of the 21st century. The employers’ understanding of the analyzed quality at different levels of development of this competency is shown: from awareness to expert. So, for example, the initial level involves the ability to describe the relationships between processes in your subject area, but at the highest level, the leader or specialist should already see the grounds that unite them, be able to make strategic decisions. Systemic thinking allows you to look at the problem being solved as a system of interrelated factors, to rise above the problem and see it in its entirety, the socalled “Helicopter Sight”. From the point of view of systemic thinking, the importance for the leader of the ability to reveal the abilities of subordinates is shown; ability to respect and be tolerant of other, sometimes opposite and alien points of view. The author gives the results of many years of research on problems of thinking. The studies conducted during the training with the managers and specialists of PJSC Gazprom on the development of systemic and innovative thinking showed an insufficient level of development of systemic thinking. It was also found that managers and specialists included in the organization’s personnel reserve need a deeper study of the essence of systemic thinking and its tools.
