4. Holistic systems thinking
Holistic systems thinking to tie what is done here and now to the effectiveness of bigger systems (and global issues).

This is tough, both mentally and emotionally.

For example, see a company, or any work organization as a part of a bigger system (as a node in a supply network) rather than as a lone entity obligated to its own P&L statements.

What appears efficient for a lone entity may not be efficient or effective for the total system.

The opposite of this is often called reductionism: belief that a whole can be understood by understanding its separate parts, or that if we “improve” each of the parts, we improve the whole.

Eschew reductionism.
