Dr. Margaret Wheatley writes, teaches, and speaks about how we might organize and accomplish our work in chaotic times. She invites us to attend to the quality of our relationships to weather the increasing turbulence. She knows that whatever the problem, community is the answer.

Quotes from Margaret Wheatley:
“This is not a financial crisis. It is a
global crisis created by a world organized on economic values. All systems and
all peoples are affected”
“Never in the history of the world have we
faced so much complexity combined with so much incompetence in understanding
its properties” (Nassim Taleb)
"We are creating systems that are
unmanageable, thinking that bigger is better."
“It
is time for us to realize that chaos does play a role in life.”
“Chaos
is always used in a cycle of life. While people are distressed and grieving
over lost dreams and opportunities and suffered terribly, I do believe it is
our role as leaders to realize this is the moment for all living systems when
new birth is available.”
“Whatever
is the problem community is the answer. The critical thing that leads to what
is born out of chaos, are the values we choose to organize around, such as
community, being there for each other, healthy relationships.”
“It is
unavoidable to feel insecure when you are trying to give birth to new ways of
being, and working, and doing life in the midst of an old culture that is
dying.” Are you willing to be one of those who want to step forward willing to
be insecure, exploring what it means “we are all in this together”?
“Fearlessness is actually a condition of acknowledging our fear but not let it
in to stop us.” “If you are feeling insecure, if you are feeling fearful, that
is really normal, The question is what
do you do with your fear and uncertainty.”
