Pause and Reflect

“We change only if we decide that the change is meaningful to who we are. . . If the work of change

is at the level of an entire organization or community, then

the search for new meaning must be done as a collective

inquiry.”

Wheatley, Margaret J. 1999. Leadership and the new science: Discovering order in a chaotic world. San Francisco: Berrett-Koehler, p148.
