Margaret Wheatley, Ed.D., is a consultant and speaker, and leading scholar in organizational  theory. Her books include Leadership and the New Science, and A Simpler Way, co-authored with Myron Kellner-Rogers. She has been engaged for many years in developing a coherent undersatanding of how living systems organize. Margaret believes we must make a radical shilft in all organizations-from mechanistic command and control models, to a living systems, self-organizing perspective. Her work derives from the question: If we understand how life organizes, would we organize human endeavors differently?  We hope you will join us for a stimulating morning of conversation!
