Synopsis:
Downsizing didn't produce the increase in productivity many companies expected. The reason, the authors of this text argue, is that we are still expecting human qualities from mechanistic structures - the way we develop organizations depends heavily on how we organize our lives. Drawing on the work scientists, philosophers, poets, novelists, spiritual teachers and colleagues, the authors search for new ways of relating life and the process of evolution to explore how organizing activities occur. They present a different world view that could help us create organizations that thrive. The book examines five themes - play, orga nization, self, emergence and coherence and challenges many assumptions about life, organizations and change. The Newtonian model of the world and organizations, and the Darwinian notion of survival of the fittest are tackled head-on: life isn't based on experimentation, relationships and diversity.
