Margaret Wheatley
Margaret Wheatley writes, teaches and speaks about how we can use our power and influence and willingly step forward to serve this troubling time. As things grow darker and more difficult, she summons us to reclaim leadership as a noble profession that creates possibility and humaneness in the midst of increasing fear and turmoil by creating Islands of Sanity.
Since 1973, Meg has taught, consulted, and advised an unusually broad variety of organizations: Her clients and audiences range from the head of the U.S. Army to twelve-‐year-‐old Girl Scouts, from CEOs and government ministers to small-town ministers, from large universities to rural aboriginal villages. All of these organizations and people wrestle with a very difficult dilemma—how to maintain their integrity, motivation, and effectiveness as they cope with the relentless upheavals and rapid shifts of today.
Meg has worked for 40+ years with leaders on all continents (except Antarctica) and with most types of organizations and communities. In her teachings and her new book, she feels compelled to challenge leaders with these questions: Who do we choose to be for this time? Do we contribute to the deterioration of human capacity by our silence and compliance, or do we act bravely and use our power and influence to champion the human spirit? Can we use the resources we have available to create islands of sanity wherever possible?
Since 1992, she has published nine award-‐winning books. Her newest book (June 2017) is Who Do We Choose To Be? Facing Reality| Claiming Leadership| Restoring Sanity. Using new science, history, and social critiques, she details where we are as a global culture, and the choices we have to make as leaders, summoning us to be Warriors for the Human Spirit. Her primary work since 2014 has been to train experienced leaders in the skills they need to stay present, discerning and compassionate in the midst of the difficult situations that all leaders now find themselves in.
