For over 30 years, Barry Oshry has uncovered core truths about how we operate in large organizations through The Power Lab, an educational program that has been called "The World Series of Leadership Development Activities." In LEADING SYSTEMS Oshry reveals the lessons he has derived from his Power Lab experiences, lessons that have been central to his innovative insights about human systems and system leadership.

Challenging conventional thinking, Oshry reveals the limitations of consensus, the validity of unilateral action, and the restrictions that our values can place on power. He reveals how the problems we often believe to be personal are in fact systemic, and he demonstrates what it takes to break out and elevate ourselves and our systems to higher levels of possibility.
