Strikingly different from most business books--it opens and closes
with a pair of very powerful black-and-white photo essays, for
example--A Simpler Way lays out a fascinating and productive
reexamination of the traditional tenets of organizational behavior.
Internationally known consultants Margaret J. Wheatley (Leadership
and the New Science) and Myron Kellner-Rogers focus on the basic
themes of play, organization, self, emergence, and notions of
coherence to explore how people really systemize their existence. The
authors draw upon science, poetry, philosophy, and other
unconventional corporate resources to suggest a completely original
method of working together. "There is a simpler way to organize human
endeavor," they write. "It requires a new way of being in the world.
It requires being in the world without fear. Being in the world with
play and creativity. Seeking after what's possible. Being willing to
learn and to be surprised." While A Simpler Way may appear too New
Age for some readers, this beautifully produced book hits the mark by
bringing together an array of unexpected ideas as the authors look
anew at established theories of human behavior to propose a decidedly
unique way of promoting organization and achieving success. --Howard
