“…For example, several studies focused on the general systems thinking paradigm [5,[24][25][26][27][28][29]. Other scholars provided a comprehensive review on different aspects of systems thinking in different fields such as the healthcare sector [30][31][32][33][34][35], sustainability [36][37][38][39][40], smart cities [41], human resource management [42,43], education [44][45][46][47][48][49][50], general practice [51], individual differences and personality [52], lean [53], digital skills [54], gender studies [55], virtual reality [56] and systems engineering/system of systems [6,57,58]. Other studies have attempted to link the concept of systems thinking to cognitive intelligence by using different terminologies such as mental maps, meta-learning, structural thinking, cognitive belief and mindset, which are all embodied in the concept of cognition [59][60][61][62][63].…”

Systems thinking (ST) is an interdisciplinary domain that offers different ways to better understand the behavior and structure of a complex system. Over the past decades, several publications can be identified in academic literature, focusing on different aspects of systems thinking. However, two critical questions are not properly addressed in the extant body of ST literature: (i) How to conduct the content analysis exclusively to derive the prominent statistics (i.e., influential journals, authors, affiliated organizations and countries) pertaining to the domain of ST? (ii) How to get better insights regarding the current and emerging trends that may evolve over time based on the existing body of ST literature? To address these gaps, the aim of this research study is to provide a comprehensive insight into the domain of systems thinking through bibliometric and network analysis. Beginning with over 6000 accumulated publications, the analysis narrowed down to 626 prominent articles with proven influence published over the past three decades. Leveraging rigorous bibliometric tools analysis, this research unveils the influential authors, leading journals and top contributing organizations and countries germane to the domain of systems thinking. In addition, citation, co-citation and page rank analysis used to rank top influential articles in the area of systems thinking. Finally, with the aid of the network analysis, key clusters in the existing literature are identified based on the research areas of systems thinking. The findings of this research will serve as a bluebook for practitioners and scholars to conduct future research within systems thinking context.

“…The adopted systemic leadership intervention in this research process acknowledges the importance of the context under which complex operational issues were addressed. This informed the framing of vital research platforms such as boundary setting, stakeholder involvement etc ( Midgley, 2000 ; Yolles, 2001 ; Davis et al., 2015 ; Velez-Castiblanco et al., 2016 ; Ufua et al., 2019 ). It exposed both the leaders and participants in the case study organisation to effective operational process innovation, continuous improvement and adaptability of their leadership decision.…”

This research investigates leadership practice in private organisations in Nigeria. It focuses on learning about the application of leadership styles to address operational complexities in organisations. The research is based on a case study of a commercial livestock farm in Nigeria using systemic intervention as the methodology. Data collection tools, such as a workshop, semi-structured interviews, boundary setting and participant observation, were applied. Key leadership issues identified in the case study were addressed via the creation of an effective approach from different leadership underpinnings. Part of the findings is the difficulty in sustaining the implementation of a particular leadership style(s) due to unstructured nature of complexities involved in the determination of suitable leadership style at different stages of the research. The research wrapped up with the suggestion for further research on systemic leadership intervention to consider exploring the public sector, as well as the need to further review on the use of CATWOE in the research process, to avoid the occurrence of marginalisation in its apllication.

“…Further, Tipple mentioned that the best leadership style is one that fosters the skills of the adjunct faculty and provides motivation. Similarity, Davis et al (2015), Crawford and Germov (2015), and Tipple agree that there are new challenges in the academic leadership within higher education to aid in expanding knowledge in the field. 2016) conducted a study focusing on the virtual platform and the barriers online adjunct faculty have.…”
