It's time to reinvent management. You can help.

Capture the advantages of diversity

“Organizational adaptability depends on individuals whose views don’t cluster around the mean.”

Future management systems must value diversity, disagreement, and divergence at least as highly as they do conformance, consensus, and cohesion.
