Higher Education and the Forces of Self-Organization: An Interview with Margaret Wheatley

Title:Higher Education and the Forces of Self-Organization: An Interview with Margaret Wheatley (ID: CEM9716)
Author(s):Richard N. Katz (EDUCAUSE)
Topics:Professional Development, Trends and Visions
Origin:CAUSE/EFFECT (Archives) (1997)
Type:Articles, Papers, and Reports
Abstract:Margaret Wheatley is the author of Leadership and the New Science and co-author with Myron Kellner-Roberts of A Simpler Way. At CAUSE96 in San Francisco, her general session address challenged basic assumptions about efficiency, motivation, productivity, problem solving, accountability, cooperation, and even human nature itself. Wheatley believes that life and work are self-organizing and that organizations must be approached as dynamic, living systems. How might these concepts apply in higher education? What are the implications for college and university leaders and for our organizations in the next century? CAUSE/EFFECT asked CAUSE Vice President Richard N. Katz to pose a few questions to Wheatley to share with our readers.
