What executives and experts are saying about Complexity and the Nexus of Leadership: - "This wonderfully useful book integrates the best thinking in the fields of complexity science, leadership, and innovation. The result is a useful and practical guide to using key complexity concepts to understand and enact leadership in a way that facilitates continuous innovation."
Ellen Van Velsor, Senior Fellow, Center for Creative Leadership
- "Many argue that there is no such thing as the science of leadership. In this scholarly treatise the authors create a compelling argument that there is a new science of leadership. Then they convincingly show us why and, more importantly, the how-tos. This book is for the serious reader who believes that you can apply generative leadership to your organization and win. You will particularly learn how generative leadership is an event rather than a person. Use your time well and read this book!"
Phil Harkins, CEO, Linkage, Inc.
- "The authors have stepped out of conventional management studies to synthesize ideas from the sciences of ecology and mathematics to articulate a new view of management and complexity. This is a well-timed analysis of how leaders can leverage networks, not in a superficial manner, but in concrete terms, to increase the velocity of innovation in their organizations. It is through innovation that firms succeed. What is surprising is that these ideas apply not just to venture-backed start-ups, but to large multi-national corporations, not-for-profits and NGOs."
Dan Keoppel, Executive Director Strategic Investments, Verizon Communications
- "For the lifelong student and (hopefully successful) practitioner of leadership, the authors greatly enriched my understanding of leadership and break new, exciting ground. For the engineer and technologist, they give me comfort that there is real science underpinning the art of leadership. They provide broad shoulders for others to stand on."
Reed Harrison, CEO, Antietam Strategy Partners, Inc.
