Leadership issues as close to home as sibling position and as big-picture as societal regression -- Bowen Family Systems Theory has it all. In the 4th episode in this series, we talk about how our birth order powerfully shapes our behavior as leaders as well as the behavior of those we lead. Then we explore how anxiety shows up in our society in ways that we all recognize from today’s headlines and we consider what less-anxious leadership looks like in times of upheaval and uncertainty. 

Summary:

  • A theory about how humans actually function
  • Even siblings grow up in a different family
  • How sibling position shapes our behavior and functioning
  • Sibling position in congregations and organizations
  • How society functions like families do
