In 1992, Leadership and the New Science launched a revolution by demonstrating that ideas drawn from quantum physics, chaos theory, and molecular biology could improve organizational performance. Margaret Wheatley called for free-flowing information, individual empowerment, relationship networks, and organizational change that evolves organically -- ideas that have become commonplace. This new edition includes a new chapter that examines the relationship of change to identity.
EDITORIAL :
When Margaret J. Wheatley's Leadership and the New Science was initially published in 1992, it outlined an unquestionably unique but extremely challenging view of change, leadership, and the structure of groups. Many readers immediately embraced its cutting-edge perspective, but others just could not understand how the complicated scientific tenets it described could be used to reshape institutions. Now Wheatley, an organizational specialist who has since coauthored A Simpler Way, updates the original by including additional material (such as an epilogue addressing her personal experiences during the past decade) and reconstructing some of her more challenging concepts. The result is a much clearer work that first explores the implications of quantum physics on organizational practice, then investigates ways that biology and chemistry affect living systems, and finally focu

Not only is it excellent for kids, it is a great help for adults as well. I keep this calendar in my office. Right now the instructions are buried in paragraphs of explanation. I was flattered to be asked by Steve to read this and was able to immediately apply NISAY in my job. But all my friends were lauding about this What The Bleep movie, and so rather than get sucked into another unpleasant movie experience, I picked up this little guide book to get a sense what all their clamor was about.

There are two sides to any story, and after the first half or so of the book, you learn that both characters have a lot to hide, and weren’t necessarily being honest in their narrations.
The ending was disliked by a lot of people, s
