LEADERSHIP AND THE NEW SCIENCE
Learning About Organization from an Orderly Universe, 2nd Edition
Margaret J. Wheatley
Berrett-Kohler Publishers, 1999
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Readers of this book will learn basic principles of quantum physics, self-organizing systems, and chaos theory, and their applications to organizational designs and practices.
Our understanding of the universe is being radically altered by 'the new science' the revolutionary discoveries in quantum physics, chaos theory, and biology that are overturning the models of science that have dominated for centuries. Margaret Wheatley shows how the new science provides equally powerful insights for transforming how we organize work, people, and life. This pioneering book offers new light on issues that trouble people in organizations most: order and change; autonomy and control; structure and flexibility; and planning and innovation.
Margaret J. Wheatley, Ph.D., is president of The Berkana Institute, a principal in Kellner-Rogers Wheatley, Inc., and a former professor of management at Brigham Young University.
