Margaret J. Wheatley's essays argue that awareness of diversity, unified communities and relationships offers a better approach to leadership than the control orientation of "Western culture." She doesn't present her book as a set of academic studies. Instead, this look at culture, leadership, organizational change and working relationships is based more on her analysis. That approach may generate some banal insights and shaky history lessons, but it also leads to some strong, helpful observations about leadership and change. Wheatley offers interesting insights into, for example, the failure of school systems to function as systems, because they don't evolve organically out of their communities and aren't responsive to those they serve. getAbstract appreciates her insights about how organizations could work better by paying more attention to the humanity of their members.
