Margaret Wheatley has been writing about leadership in connection with complexity with some time now, and I am delighted that she sees a connection between working with a complex world and hosting.  I just came across her new article (co-authored by Deborah Frieze) as the featured article at the Berkana Institute website – Leadership in the age of complexity: from hero to host.  I particularly like the way she looks at why we continue to yearn for heroes – even if we know that it’s more or less a forelorn hope.
