SysTEAMic means...

The understanding that a team is more than a collection of individuals - it is a living system.

This perspective draws on systems thinking: recognising that every action, behaviour, and relationship within a team is interconnected and influences the whole.

A SysTEAMic approach includes…

• seeing the team as an interconnected system, where patterns, relationships, and interactions shape performance and culture just as much as individual skills.

• understanding the dynamics between people, not just the people themselves - noticing how communication flows, where bottlenecks form, and how behaviours ripple through the group.

• making sense of the whole picture, not just isolated events or individual problems, by exploring how structures, norms, and unwritten rules shape team behaviour.

• working with the team’s natural interconnectedness to create healthier patterns, stronger collaboration, and more sustainable performance.

• applying systems‑thinking to teamwork, enabling teams to identify root causes, understand their collective impact, and strengthen the system from within.

In short: Whatever we do impacts others.

Taking a SysTEAMic approach is about the ability to understand, influence, and strengthen the team as a connected, interdependent system - not just a group of individuals.
