"Does complexity theory offer insight into the future of business leadership and the evolution of management thinking"?
Why is it, that where people are involved, the unexpected is expected? If it really was possible for leaders and managers to identify cause and effect, surely events would be far more predictable that they are. Obviously, human thinking today uses less mysticism and more linear cause and effect thinking. How else might managers manage? Or are there far more variables at play than we recognise when we look for 'casue and effect'. The seminal work of Peter Senge (Senge 2000) helped business describe and work with the existence of multiple and simultaneously occurring 'cause and effect' relationships - yet unpredictability and uncertainty remain, if not continue to increase.
