Résumé

The contributors to this book are leaders, consultants or managers in organizations, who provide narrative accounts of their actual work and daily experience. They explore how the perspective of complex responsive processes assists them to make sense of their experience and so to develop their practice.

Offering a different method of making sense of an individual's experience in a rapidly changing world, this book uses reflective accounts of ordinary everyday life in organizations rather than idealized accounts. The editors¿ commentary introduces and contextualises these experiences as well as drawing out key themes for further research.
