Leadership and the New Science: Discovering Order in a Chaotic World by Margaret J. Wheatley
This updated classic explores the changing role of leadership given the free-flowing nature of information, power of networks, and nature of chaos within natural and built organizational structures. With examples from diverse organizations on five continents, Wheatley provides insights on how chaos and connection is changing the ways we approach organizational behavior, management, and leadership.
