6-day Intensive Systemic team development and leadership

By:

Dees van de Hoef and Jan Jacob Stam
This program is delivered by invitation – in-company or as part of your program offering.

This 6-day ‘Intensive’ program is designed to help participants master or refine the art of team development and leadership from a systemic perspective.

Whether you’re dealing with complex team dynamics, facilitating change processes, or want to increase your personal impact as a leader, this program addresses all of that.

It’s tailored to professional needs. It’s a balance of theory, practical exercises, and personal development to enhance your skills.

No prior experience with systemic work is required, but it’s certainly welcome.

 

Why you’d want us to deliver this program :-)

We – Jan Jacob and Dees – bring years of international experience in systemic work with teams and organizations across many countries. We’re not about theory that stays on the shelf or soft approaches that don’t create movement. We do what’s needed to genuinely advance participants, with depth, feedforward, and clear interventions.

In this program, participants don’t just learn techniques. They also sharpen their own role and impact. We point out blind spots, name patterns, and ensure participants can intervene from a clear position. The emphasis is on applicability: what participants learn, they can apply directly in their own practice.

Participants value the combination of depth and pragmatism, the personal attention, and the space to experiment without judgment. And they appreciate that we call it out when something could be done differently – always with respect for the process and the people.

What does this program entail?

An intensive 6-day program in which participants sharpen their skills for systemic team development and their leadership qualities, refine their advisory skills, and increase their impact as professionals.

Systemic team development and leadership aims to unlock potential through curiosity, meaningful questions, and targeted interventions: by doing, not merely talking about it. Theory immediately gains meaning in practice. Participants practice, experiment, discover what works. What you learn, you can use right away. It’s a balance of theory, practical exercises, and personal development to improve skills and increase impact.

The ‘state of being’ in teams and organizations

Teams and organizations are complex systems, often influenced and shaped by hidden dynamics below the surface. While visible problems like recurring challenges may point to structural issues, the real insights are often found in the invisible “undercurrent.”

The iceberg metaphor, where only a small portion is visible, applies to systemic team development and leadership. This involves exploring these invisible patterns and dynamics to uncover deeper causes and untapped potential.

Uppercurrent vs. undercurrent

  • Uppercurrent: the visible domain of will, of planning, vision, and problem-solving. Here we often speak of problems.
  • Undercurrent: the invisible domain of unconscious patterns and subtle dynamics that influence the system. Here we speak of symptoms.

By recognizing and acknowledging symptoms in the undercurrent, insight emerges. Systemic leaders and developers can unravel blockages, leading to breakthroughs in collaboration, performance, and job satisfaction and transform obstacles into opportunities for growth.

What do participants gain?

  • A solid framework of theory, tools, and skills for systemic team development and leadership
  • Develop practical skills to recognize and intervene effectively in team dynamics
  • Practical tools for intervening in team dynamics: well-stocked toolbox of systemic leadership tools
  • The ability to use oneself as a finely tuned instrument for change

For whom?

This program is for developers, leaders (business owners, executives, managers, team leaders), consultants, HR professionals, and others who:

  • Lead teams in dynamic environments
  • Support organizational growth, transition and transformation
  • Seek to enhance their leadership impact with systemic approaches
  • Are drawn to mastering team development techniques and frameworks

Program structure and key components

This 6-day intensive program focuses on systemic team development and leadership, based on years of experience with numerous teams and organizations. By the end of the program, participants will have a solid framework of theory, tools, and skills to use yourself as an instrument for team development and systemic leadership. Instead of a rigid curriculum, we offer “ingredients,” ensuring alignment with participants’ needs and maximizing learning outcomes.

This is not a training program for facilitating organizational constellations. The focus is on leadership and team development techniques, although visual methods will be used.
