'This book really challenges current thinking on leadership and provides an exciting new perspective on complexity in today’s organizations.'
Jean-Anne Stewart, Director of Corporate MBA Programmes, Henley Business School, UK

Ralph Stacey investigates the many questions that are thrown up as a result of this new approach. Questions such as:
