Böcker av Margaret J. Wheatley

This book is born of my desire to summon us to be leaders for this time as things fall apart, to reclaim leadership as a noble profession that creates possibility and humaneness in the midst of increasing fear and turmoil. I know it is possible for leaders to use their power and influence, their insight and compassion, to lead people back to an understanding of who we are as human beings, to create the conditions for our basic human qualities of generosity, contribution, community and love to be evoked no matter what. I know it is possible to experience grace and joy in the midst of tragedy and loss. I know it is possible to create islands of sanity in the midst of wildly disruptive seas. I know it is possible because I have worked with leaders over many years in places that knew chaos and breakdown long before this moment. And I have studied enough history to know that such leaders always arise when they are most needed. Now it's our turn.

Leadership and the New Science is the bestselling, most acclaimed, and most influential guide to applying the new science (the recent discoveries in science that change our understanding of how the world works) to organisations, and our lives. As a new edition to this classic text, Wheatley shows how examples of non-linear networks and organizations are flourishing in the modern world. Examples like the E-bay, search engines and viral marketing works are all prospering because they are based on self-organising dynamics.
