Abstract

Despite the increase in women entering the professional work force, there are still few in systems. Yet women are nurtured as systems thinkers and rely, routinely, on their holistic understanding of complex relationships to resolve dilemmas. Once they have acquired formal systems skills to complement this “natural” systems thinking, women have a powerful array of techniques to use to their advantage at work, in politics, and in academia. Since systems can benefit from the participation of women, and reciprocally, women can benefit from applying systems skills, we should encourage more women into systems and offer them support as colleagues.
