Leadership and the New Science: Learning about… by Margaret J. Wheatley

Our understanding of the universe is being radically altered by the new science -- the Revolutionary discoveries in quantum physics, chaos theory, and molecular biology that are overturning in models of science that have dominated for centuries. Now Margaret Wheatley shows how the new science provides equally powerful insights for transforming how we organize work, people, and life.

How Does Raven Know? by Margaret Wheatley

Wheatley provides a poetic and personal perspective on the interrelatedness of all creation. This is a deeply spiritual book beautifully written and designed. The author writes from the heart and thereby touches the reader’s heart. This is a book to be read contemplatively. The reader will be rewarded by allowing Wheatley’s heartfelt words to slowly seep into the soul.

A Simpler Way by Margaret J. Wheatley

Vague, abstract, slightly frustrating, and comforting in its hopeful point of view. Life is playful, self-referential, messy, self-organizing, and a mutually co-dependent dance of exploration. Recommended for C. Alexander fans, systems folks, Caprof disciples, poets, ponderers, wanderers, the org.-minded, and anyone who's got the funny feeling that things just aren't right.
