Boundaryless Change with Marita Fridjhon

Our guest is Marita Fridjhon, a thought leader in the paradigm shifts leaders and teams need to make to create systems-inspired change. Over two decades ago, Marita and CRR Global co-founder Faith Fuller developed the simple yet revolutionary idea of Relationship Systems Intelligence (RSI™) - that leadership lives in the whole system rather than individuals, and that each system has a personality and intelligence of its own. In this conversation, Nina and Marita agreed on the importance of self reflection in leading change. Marita shared what is unique about this moment and how essential it is for team leaders to be systems aware. We also got into what we can learn from Japanese culture and how underrated humble leadership is.
