It focuses on everyday systems like families, workplaces and communities. These systems are created through our thoughts, actions and connections with others. They are systems that shape our lives, but also offer the possibility of us changing them from within. We are always part of systems. We can act intelligently from within those systems. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSystems Intelligence extends the concepts of Emotional and Social Intelligence.
