Coffee, Chat & Learn with Linda Oldenburg 

“My 3 Learnings about systems theory and leadership ” 

Situation/Introduction

Linda has been working in the digital industry for years as a team leader and division manager. In this role and as a consultant to the public sector, she has observed and been in the middle of a range of organisations, leadership structures and approaches to solving problems.

In spring, she took a training course in Future Leadership by intrinsfy in order to integrate her experiences into larger systems theory contexts and to find words for her observations. Linda now wants to share these experiences and concepts with net4tec and give the participants starting points to implement small changes in their own organisations.
