Today's powerful leaders believe that good business is good for people, good for the world, and understand that their actions have global impact.

Leadership and the New Science: Creating Order in a Chaotic World
By Margaret Wheatley
When Margaret J. Wheatley's Leadership and the New Science was
initially published in 1992, it outlined an unquestionably unique but
extremely challenging view of change, leadership, and the structure of
groups. Many readers immediately embraced its cutting-edge perspective,
but others just could not understand how the complicated scientific
tenets it described could be used to reshape institutions. Now
Wheatley updates the original by including additional material (such as an
epilogue addressing her personal experiences during the past decade)
and reconstructing some of her more challenging concepts. The result is
a much clearer work that first explores the implications of quantum
physics on organizational practice, then investigates ways that biology
and chemistry affect living systems, and finally focuses on chaos
theory, the creation of a new order, and the manner that scientific
principles affect leadership. "Our old ways of relating to each other
don't support us any longer," she writes. "It is up to us to journey
forth in search of new practices and new ideas that will enable us to
create lives and organizations worthy of human habitation."

The Living Universe: Where Are We? Who Are We?
Where Are We Going?
By Duane Elgin
In The Living Universe, Duane Elgin marshals evidence from cosmology,
biology, physics, even his participation in NASA-sponsored psychic
experiments to show that the universe is actually a living field of
existence and that we are always in communion with that field of
aliveness whether we are conscious of it or not. This is a worldview
that, as Elgin explains, is shared by virtually every spiritual
tradition, and the implications of it are vast and deep. In a living
system each part is integral to the whole, so each of us is intimately
connected to the entire universe. Elgin eloquently demonstrates how
that identity manifests itself on a whole series of levels, from
subatomic to galactic. We are, he writes, far more than biological
beings; we are beings of cosmic connection and dimension.

Megatrends 2010
By Patricia Aburdene
The question is what this and all the other "conscious capitalism" trends really portend for the future of American commerce. To Patricia Aburdene, this future will be one in which "the spiritual transformation of capitalism" will shift the American way of doing business "from greed to enlightened self-interest, from elitism to economic democracy, from the fundamentalist doctrine of `profit at any cost' to the conscious ideology that espouses both money and morals."

One From Many
By Dee Hock
The worldwide success of VISA International, Dee Hock asserts, is due to its chaordic structure: it is owned by 22,000 member banks, which both compete with each other for 750 million customers and must cooperate by honoring one another's $125 trillion in transactions annually across borders and currencies. One From Many takes the never-before-told story of how that structure came into being, and updates it for today. The book also highlights Dee Hock's evolution from humble beginnings to an iconoclast who challenged the nature of traditional organizations and management. It is the story of an entrepreneur who created a new concept of organization, brought it into being, and led it to amazing success in less than a decade. Hock is a corporate statesman who continues to carry these ideas around the world. Lyrical, humorous, powerfully thoughtful, One From Many tells how one man blended chaos and order in the unexpected realm of business.

The Real Wealth of Nations: Creating a Caring Economics
By Riane Eisler
In this powerful book, eminent social scientist Riane Eisler, author of the mega-bestseller The Chalice and the Blade, shows that the great problems of our time -- such as poverty, inequality, war, terrorism, and environmental degradation -- are due largely to flawed economic systems that set the wrong priorities and misallocate resources. Conventional economic models fail to value and support the most essential human work -- caring and caregiving -- so basic human needs are increasingly neglected, despair and ecological destruction escalate, and the resulting social tensions fuel many of the conflicts we face today.

Revolution in a Bottle: How TerraCycle is Redefining Green Business
By Tom Szaky and Paul Hawken
Szaky argues for a new approach to business, an “eco-capitalism” based
on a “triple bottom line.” Every business, he says, should aspire to be
good for people, good for the environment, and (last but definitely not
least) good for profits. He shows how the first two goals can
(surprisingly) help the third. Of course, eco-capitalism isn’t
a new idea, and many companies brag about being
environmentally-friendly. But no one does it as effectively as
TerraCycle. Szaky and his colleagues figured out how to sell a useful,
organic, safe product without charging a premium for it. Their
big insight was finding value in things that others throw away, from
the triggers on spray-bottles to misprinted cardboard boxes.

The Trance of Scarcity
By Victoria Castle
Trapped in a numbed state, says author Victoria Castle, many of us have lost access to our fundamental human goodness.

Castle identifies this omnipresent malaise as the "Trance of Scarcity."

You Have the Power
By Frances Moore Lappe
This idealistic treatise attempts to turn the constricting presence of fear into a "power to create the lives we want and the world we want." According to Perkins and Lappe, fear is spread by politicians and media that encourage people to be frightened of other countries and cultures, and that magnify the danger of crime. The result, they argue, is an emotionally paralyzed population, immobilized against real global dangers. |
