Margaret Wheatley writes, teaches and speaks about radically new
practices and ideas for organizing in chaotic times. She works to create
organizations of all types where people are known as the blessing, not the
problem. She is president of the Berkana Institute, a charitable global
leadership foundation serving life-affirming leaders, and has been an
organizational consultant for many years, as well as a professor of management
in two graduate programs.
Her latest book is Finding Our Way: Leadership for an Uncertain
Time. Her book, Turning to One Another: Simple Conversations to
Restore Hope to the Future, proposes that real social change comes from
the ageless process of people thinking together in conversation.
Wheatley’s work also appears in two award-winning books, Leadership
and the New Science and A Simpler Way with Myron Kellner-Rogers, plus
several videos and articles.
She draws many of her ideas from new science and life’s ability
to organize in self-organizing, systemic and cooperative modes. And
increasingly, her models for new organizations are drawn from her understanding
of many different cultures and spiritual traditions.
