Instability, disturbance, emergence, networks, informal learning, trial, error, adaptability, low growth, fluctuation and momentum - these are the experiences that are increasingly dominating the lives of today's business leaders and managers. There is a growing awareness that the old ways and constructs (driven by planning, accountability, perfection, size, profit) are no longer working as effectively as we wish.

Written with passion and insight, and containing honest and real cases, the author makes a case for courage, authenticity and resilience as the key attributes of tomorrow's manager.
