The aim of this paper is to return to goals of systemic renewal and sustainable development by clarifying agency or causal factors in complex organizations. To begin this journey, we identify conflicts and flaws underlying common management theory and practice and then correct them using a wider knowledge base underpinned by general systems theory and relevant disciplines. Updated theory is that agency of organization behaviour is not in the leader, nor the employee, but in both. Each system member learns and performs according to their own willingness and ability, resulting in infinite variety. Thus, a provide/pickup paradigm is proposed. In other words, the leader's role is to provide input, resources and tasks; the learner/employee role is pickup of input, each at their own rate. The investigative journey complete, the Systems Thinking RoundTable is proposed to circumvent many of the challenges in modern social systems today—the ever-increasing demands, the silo effect and the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

阐明社会系统中的人类能动性、对大型学校和工作场所的影响以及系统思维圆桌会议

本文的目的是通过阐明复杂组织中的代理或因果因素，回归系统更新和可持续发展的目标。为了开始这一旅程，我们确定了共同管理理论和实践背后的冲突和缺陷，然后使用以一般系统理论和相关学科为基础的更广泛的知识库进行纠正。更新的理论是，组织行为的能动性不在领导者，也不在员工身上，而在两者中。每个系统成员根据自己的意愿和能力学习和执行，从而产生无限的多样性。因此，提供/取货范式提出。换句话说，领导者的角色是提供输入、资源和任务；学习者/员工的角色是接收输入，每个输入都有自己的速度。调查之旅完成后，系统思考圆桌会议旨在规避当今现代社会系统中的许多挑战——不断增长的需求、筒仓效应和冠状病毒大流行的影响。
