She has shown how breakthroughs in chaos theory and quantum physics can enable organizations to function more like responsive, self-organizing living systems, rather than cold mechanisms of control. And she has gradually expanded these ideas into the wider arena of human society. In short, Margaret Wheatley is one of the most innovative and influential organizational thinkers of our time, and Finding Our Way brings together her shorter writings for the first time, touching on all the topics she has addressed throughout her career, showing how she has applied the ideas in her books s in many different situations. ?The pieces presented here?, she writes, ?represent ten years of work, of how I took the ideas in my books and applied them in practice in many different situations. However, this is not a collection of articles. I updated, revised, or substantially added to the original content of each one. In this way, everything written here represents my current views on the subjects I write about.? Provocative, challenging, at times poetic, and often deeply moving, Finding Our Way sums up Wheatley's thinking on a diverse scope of topics from leadership and management to education and raising children in turbulent times; from societal commentary to specific organizational techniques and more. 517 3 $aLeadership for an uncertain time 606 $aLeadership 606 $aOrganizational change 606 $aSocial values 606 $aAttitude change 606 $aCooperativeness 606 $aQuality of life 615 0$aLeadership. 615 0$aOrganizational change. 615 0$aSocial values. 615 0$aAttitude change. 615 0$aCooperativeness. 615 0$aQuality of life. 676 $a658.4/092 700 $aWheatley$b Margaret J$01650009 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910817983803321 996 $aFinding our way$94015915 997 $aUNINA
