Economics & Business; Management decision making

The acclaimed author ""richly articulates how the insights of modern science... can usher in a new era of human and planetary health"" (Systems Thinker).

For years, Margaret Wheatley has written eloquently about humanizing our organizations and helping people to work together more effectively and compassionately. 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, andFinding Our Waybrings 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 in many different situations. ""However,"" she writes, ""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.

""Wheatley provocatively lays out how managers must operate to be effective in a system that is 'alive'... Finding Our Way challenges us to see the enterprises we lead in new light."" -Leader's Beacon
