Leading Through Complexity

What's your comfort level with the following distilled statements:
• Distributed systems outlast rigid control
• Centralized control is brittle
• If you have an identifiable centre, you are at risk
• Not having a centre does not equal chaos
• It’s not about size, it’s about adaptability
• It’s about how quickly you can change
• It’s about how continuously you can change
• Free flow of information is essential
• Between total control (stasis) and total anarchy (chaos) is the vital zone of creation
• Organizations have their own ecology
• Organizations are composed of micro ecologies and interact with macro ecologies
