Leadership and the New Science : Discovering Order in a Chaotic World

Rapid change defines the world around us, requiring a more effective type of organization. New discoveries in biology, chaos theory, and quantum physics change our understanding of how the world works, and Margaret J. Wheatley shows us how the "new science" can lead to a powerful new view of the business world. Our world has become nonlinear and filled with constant transition, and this new understanding can be applied to the way we organize work, people, and our lives. Wheatley invites us to transform our way of thinking and adapt ourselves—and our companies—to the 21st century by offering a new way of thinking about organizations and leadership.
