Abstract: This article aims to offer educational insights that could help cultivate systems thinking and adaptive leadership behavior (ALB) among college students. We conceptually connect three frames of systems thinking and levels of cognitive complexity with ALBs measured by the ALB scale. We share insights from a preliminary study of college students' self‐ratings of ALB and offer learning activities designed to develop capacity for systems leadership in college‐level leadership learners.
