In an increasingly complex world, being agile means continuously adapting and evolving with fluidity, thanks to a high-quality dialogue between our identity and our environment. Agility reconnects us with life; we gain freedom and elegance.
This book answers questions such as:
- How can we improve our ability to sense weak signals, strategize and then act accordingly?
- Is management (the social technology of the industrial world) dead? How should it evolve?
- How can we effectively mobilize people and develop a context favourable to adaptation and innovation?
- What must be organized for self-organization to flourish?
- How do ants, bees, or schools of fish self-organize?
- What can we learn from Nature in its ability to evolve?
- How can Chinese thought and Taoism help us navigate in a complex world?
- What do Nietzsche, Montaigne or Leibniz have to say about Agility?
- What can we learn from the French and English approaches to gardens?
- How can we better go with the flow?
- In essence, how can we better dance with Life?
Guiding you through mental models and practices to become agile at a both individual and collective level, nurtured by multiple sources, this book provides a holistic perspective to provoke your thought and encourage you to act and start dancing.
