BOOK REVIEW: Finding Our Way: Leadership For an Uncertain Time (By Margaret J. Wheatley, Berrett-Koehler, 2005, ISBN #978-1-57675-317-0)
Finding Our Way challenges us to see the enterprises we lead in new light. It presents our organizations as living, substantially self-organizing systems of interacting human beings, not elaborate machines. Tools such as performance standards, metrics, missions, goals, project plans and job descriptions can certainly guide and influence employee behavior but they cannot force it or control it. This reality can frustrate the control-oriented manager. Wheatley offers several strategies to lead effectively in such systems.

Stop Reinventing the Wheel: Create Systems to Save Time and Money
Most of us run our lives on a handful of systems. Between our smart phones, calendars, and our e-mail inboxes, we have organized ourselves and our time. And if you ever doubt the importance of these systems, recall your panic the last time you couldn’t access your email or your hard drive crashed. Yet as important as these systems are, most of us don’t take advantage of what systems can do to improve our businesses and simplify our lives. Systems are simply ways of automating or structuring processes so that they can occur systematically without so much thought or attention-and by more than just one person, so that the business can continue to run if the owner takes a vacation.
