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, 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.
