Leadership and the New Science: Discovering Order in a Chaotic Worldby Margaret J Wheatley
Synopses & ReviewsBook News Annotation:Wheatley runs a research foundation that explores new structures for
organizations. She argues that the organizations most people live and
work in now are based on Newtonian images of the universe, then
challenges readers to think about how systems can use chaos to create
order, how order is different from control, how to reconcile
individual freedom and organizational standards, and other ideas. She
has revised the second edition based on reactions to the first in
1992 as well as to incorporate changes in the world.
