Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - What's Possible Now Change is everywhere these days - at times it seems like barely controlled chaos. Yet within this turmoil are the seeds of a higher order. When a new system arises from the ashes of the old, science calls the process ''emergence.''

In this profound book, Peggy Holman offers principles, practices, and real - world stories to help you work with compassion, creativity, and wisdom through the entire arc of change - from disruption to coherence.
