## In authors' words

### What they set out to do (purpose)

To describe seven characteristics the authors attribute to systems thinkers and to give managers a set of questions for cultivating each one.

### How they did it (methods)

A Spanish-language article on a project management consultancy's blog. Seven proposed characteristics of systems thinkers - attending to connections rather than details, seeing interdependencies, favoring sustainable long-term solutions, candor about system failure, accepting responsibility for system-wide outcomes, communicating complexity clearly, and challenging conventional assumptions - are each paired with practical questions drawn from one of the four DSRP patterns. DSRP is introduced and credited to Derek and Laura Cabrera, with the pattern names rendered in Spanish as Distinciones, Sistemas, Relaciones, and Perspectivas.

### What they found (results)

The article presents systems thinking as a requirement of contemporary leadership and problem-solving, and offers DSRP as the structure that makes it teachable: the authors state that the model gives a clear structure for understanding systems thinking by breaking down how we differentiate elements, how they connect, how they form complete systems, and how differing perspectives bear on them.

## Commentary

### In short

A project management consultancy reaches for the four patterns when it needs the list of traits to become something a manager can practice. Each of the seven characteristics is paired with questions taken from one pattern, which turns a description of how systems thinkers supposedly behave into a questioning discipline. The Spanish rendering of the pattern names is accurate.
