Opis

Part of the Complexity as the Experience of Organizing series, this book applies complex responsiveness theory to real-life leadership experiences. It features contributions from and details the experience of organizational practitioners, leaders, consultants and managers from various organizations through narrative accounts. It addresses questions such as:

• How do widespread or global patterns emerge and evolve in the local interactions between people?
• What actually happens in global change programmes?
• What does this imply about the relationship between the local and the global?

Exploring the perspective of complex responsive processes, the book s contributors examine how this assists them in making sense of their experience, and how this awareness then leads to their development. This book is a valuable study for academics, business school students and practitioners, as rather than offering mere descriptions of organizational life, it provides reflective accounts of real-life experiences of researching in organizations.
