"While many know Niklas Luhmann in his capacity as a systems theoretician, few are aware that he has also written a number of important essays in organization theory. The New Boss represents an excellent introduction to this part of Luhmann's work: it is bristling with interesting ideas about leadership, formal organizations, groups and much more."
