Engaging Emergence

Change is everywhere these days -- so much so that it can seem like barely controlled chaos. As a result, increasing numbers of leaders, managers, workers, and change agents feel overwhelmed. But within this seeming chaos are the seeds of a higher order and coherence. Science calls the process of a new system emerging from the ashes of the old "emergence." Understanding the phenomenon of emergence can help leaders successfully cope with change, emerging stronger and more purposeful.

In this insightful book, Peggy Holman offers new ways to think about the potential upheaval contains as a source of emergent change and shows how to engage it productively. This is an art more than a science, so Holman offers practices that tell you not precisely what to do but rather how to approach disruptive situations and make the most of them.
