Organic Leadership: A 21st Century Vision
DescriptionComplexity Theory is a globally recognised
term for the interaction of management, leadership, uncertainty, risk,
knowledge, learning, creativity and the connectivity in complex human
systems. Effective managers question management practice and are becoming
more critical about their role, often resulting in effective progress
towards altruistic and commercial gains.

the nature and interaction of organisational behaviour and 21st century
management solutions.
