Leadership For an Uncertain Time Teleseminar

(4 ratings)

Organizational consultant Margaret Wheatley takes Hurricane Katrina as a case of the successes and failures of our models of leadership. Whereas Nature sustainably employs small, self-organizing groups networking into a large functional system, our leadership models habitually resort to disastrous "command and control" techniques. Wheatley warns that we have become "info-calloused," preferring confirmation of our points of view over new information. But the fact remains that, when we humans see another human suffering, we do wonders. Wheatley promises that the most revolutionary act we can do as a species is to be together and take the time to think again. Join Matthew Gilbert and the Workplace Revolution channel in an exploration of how management innovations peaked in the late eighties, suffered during the nineties, and may yet endure through the economic transitions ahead.
