Abstract：
We argue for reconsidering leadership development based on open systems theory and systems design principles. A primary advantage of open systems thinking is that it encourages holistic approaches to development and avoids episodic program-based training and piecemeal thinking. The latter approaches are both limited and limiting yet tend to be the preferred approach to leadership development in organizations. Open systems approaches to development offer numerous advantages both conceptually and pragmatically, especially through the incorporation of ongoing feedback cycles. Core practices that define a leadership development system are presented and implications are discussed.
摘要：
我们主张基于开放系统理论和系统设计原则重新考虑领导力发展。开放系统思维的主要优势在于，它鼓励整体开发方法，并避免了基于程序的间歇性培训和零碎思维。后一种方法既有限又有限，但往往是组织领导力发展的首选方法。开放系统的开发方法在概念上和实践上都提供了许多优势，特别是通过纳入持续的反馈周期。提出了定义领导力发展系统的核心实践，并讨论了其含义。
