Leadership And The New Science
Author(s): Margaret J. Wheatley
Discovering Order in a Chaotic World 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.
