Wiggly World of Organization

"Chris Rodgers’s timely book on the enduring complexity of organisational life is a much-needed antidote to the still-dominant prescriptions for how to lead and manage. It mobilises his substantial experience as an organisational consultant and his assiduous reading and systematic thinking, to present difficult ideas in a highly accessible way. I recommend this book to anyone interested in engaging more thoughtfully in every day organisational reality." - Chris Mowles, Professor of Complexity and Management, Hertfordshire Business School
"This is a genuinely refreshing and exciting book. It offers a clear and persuasive challenge to the prevailing taken-for-granted assumptions and conventional wisdom about how organizations work. It presents thought-provoking insights and practical advice on how to purposely and skilfully ‘muddle through’. This is a ‘must-read’ book for anyone who wants to truly understand organizing processes and meaningfully act within organizations." - Professor Cliff Oswick Chair in Organization Theory, The Business School (formerly Cass)
"This offers a wide-ranging yet easy-to-read guide to the complex social dynamics of organisation and what these mean for day-to-day practice of managers and other practitioners. Despite challenging management orthodoxy head-on, Chris seems to have the knack of talking about complexity without talking about complexity!" - Dr Sharon Varney, Director, space for learning ltd.

This book offers a radically different way of thinking about, and engaging with, the irreducible complexity of organization and management practice, to help managers and others become consciously aware of what they already know deep down about how organization works and what they – and everyone else – are actually doing in practice.
