"McCann and Selsky make the case that mastering turbulenceis an 'ART'--a rich mix of agility, resiliency, and transformability. As resilience becomes the new sustainability, McCann and Selsky lead the way in showing why and how individuals, teams, organizations, and sectors must strike the right balancebetween being faster and becoming fitter, for instance, by shiftingfrom competitive strategy and fastest growth to collaborativestrategies and collective well-being. Mastering Turbulenceis a must-read for anyone striving to navigate our hyperconnectedworld.„--Angela Wilkinson, director, FuturesDirectorate, Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment, OxfordUniversity “Turbulence in flight is the difference between fallingand flying. We have come to fear turbulence in our quest to controland make our challenges seem manageable. McCann and Selskydemystify turbulence and gently guide us into a mindset to use itto help our organizations become more resilient, adaptive, andinnovative.„--Richard Boyatzis, Distinguished UniversityProfessor, Departments of Psychology, Cognitive Science and OrganizationalBehavior, Case Western Reserve University; and coauthor of theinternational best-sellers, Primal Leadership andResonant Leadership “This book integrates theory and practice beautifully. Theconcept of adaptation is linked rigorously to a theory of turbulentenvironments. The result is practical advice that has the ring ofexperience and truth."--Larry Hirschborn, principal, Center for Applied Research (CFAR)
