Leadership and the new science: learning about organization from an orderly universe
Abstract
our understanding of the universe is being radically altered by the - the revolutionary discoveries in quantum physics, chaos theory, and molecular biology that are overturning the 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. Written in an inviting style that makes the new science accessible to non-scientists, this pioneering book offers: A mind-opening exploration of how the new science can change the ways we understand, design, lead, and manage organisations. An easy-to-read, single-source summary of a wide range of new science discoveries. New light on issues that trouble people in organisations most: order and change, autonomy and control, structure and flexibility, planning and innovation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
