Since its publication Complex Adaptive Leadership has become a Gower bestseller that has been taught in corporate leadership programmes business schools & universities around the world to high acclaim In this updated paperback edition Nick Obolensky argues that leadership should not be something only exercised by nominated leaders It is a complex dynamic process involving all those engaged in a particular enterprise The theoretical background to this lies in complexity science & chaos theory
- spoken & written about in the context of leadership for the last 20 years but still little understood We all seem intuitively to know leadership 'isn't what it used to be' but we still cling to old assumptions which look anachronistic in changing & challenging times Nick Obolensky has practised researched & taught leadership in the public private & voluntary sectors In this exciting book he brings together his knowledge of theory his own experience & the results of 19 years of research involving 2500 executives in 40 countries around the world The main conclusion from that research is that the more complex things become the less traditional directive leadership is needed Those operating in the real world nonetheless need ways of coping The book is focused on helping practitioners struggling to interpret & react to increasingly VUCA (Volatile Uncertain Complex Ambiguous) times The book will particularly appeal to practitioners wishing to improve their leadership effectiveness as well as for students & researchers in the field of leadership

Textbooks even excellent ones are a reflection of their times Form & content of books depend on what the students know already what they are expected to learn how the subject matter is regarded in relation to other divisions of mathematics & even how fashionable the subject matter is It is thus not surprising that we no longer use such masterpieces as Hurwitz & Courant's Funktionentheorie or Jordan's Cours d' Analyse in our courses The last two decades have seen a significant change in the techniques used in the theory of functions of one complex variable The important role played by the inhomogeneous Cauchy-Riemann equation in the current research has led to the reunification at least in their spirit of complex analysis in one & in several variables We say reunification since we think that Weierstrass Poincare & others (in contrast to many of our students) did not consider them to be entirely separate subjects Indeed not only complex analysis in several variables but also number theory harmonic analysis & other branches of mathematics both pure & applied have required a reconsidera- tion of analytic continuation ordinary differential equations in the complex domain asymptotic analysis iteration of holomorphic functions & many other subjects from the classic theory of functions of one complex variable This ongoing reconsideration led us to think that a textbook incorporating some of these new perspectives & techniques had to be written ...

What enables individually simple insects like ants to act with such precision & purpose as a group? How do trillions of neurons produce something as extraordinarily complex as consciousness? In this remarkably clear & companionable book leading complex systems scientist Melanie Mitchell provides an intimate tour of the sciences of complexity a broad set of efforts that seek to explain how large-scale complex organized & adaptive behavior can emerge from simple interactions among myriad individuals Based on her work at the Santa Fe Institute & drawing on its interdisciplinary strategies Mitchell brings clarity to the workings of complexity across a broad range of biological technological & social phenomena seeking out the general principles or laws that apply to all of them Richly illustrated Complexity A Guided Tour-winner of the 2010 Phi Beta Kappa Book Award in Science-offers a wide-ranging overview of the ideas underlying complex systems science the current research at the forefront of this field & the prospects for its contribution to solving some of the most important scientific questions of our time ...

The importance of complexity is well-captured by Hawking's comment Complexity is the science of the 21st century From the movement of flocks of birds to the Internet environmental sustainability & market regulation the study & understanding of complex non-linear systems has become highly influential over the last 30 years In this Very Short Introduction one of the leading figures in the field John Holland introduces the key elements & conceptual framework of complexity From complex physical systems such as fluid flow & the difficulties of predicting weather to complex adaptive systems such as the highly diverse & interdependent ecosystems of rainforests he combines simple well-known examples
- Adam Smith's pin factory Darwin's comet orchid & Simon's 'watchmaker'
- with an account of the approaches involving agents & urn models taken by complexity theory ABOUT THE SERIES The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly Our expert authors combine facts analysis perspective new ideas & enthusiasm to make interesting & challenging topics highly readable

- Garden State) receives a phone call from a police officer informing her that an employee a pretty young blonde named Becky (Dreama Walker of Gossip Girl & The Good Wife) has stolen money from a customer Convinced she&s only doing what&s right Sandra commences the investigation following instructions from the officer at the other end of the line no matter how invasive they become As we watch we ask ourselves two questions “ Why don’t they just say no?” & the more troubling " Am I certain I wouldn&t do the same?"
