Are there any specific qualities of systems thinking that are especially useful in community building?
Are there any systems-oriented books that would apply especially well to community-building, perhaps books not specifically about communities, but systems in general?

oh god, so many.
i share this next bit to add context, not to flex. i have a masters in education and my thesis was "the future of education"
... TOO many books to list that have informed my thinking, but, i obsessed over this for 7.5 years (took me that long to get a double-masters).
that was my bedrock, the classics.
what's CRAZY is that i'm literally building this software today... decades later.
... insane:
... this is why i tell people...
... there are OBVIOUS whispers about what we need to do with our lives... we just need to look behind (and beyond) ourselves... stfu, and listen.
