Agility: Management Principles for a Volatile World

“Dr Edmondson’s sixth book is a thought-provoking journey through The Six Functions of the Agile Manager. Each function provides a roadmap for managers on how to navigate in today’s unpredictable and highly volatile environment.” –John Donnellan, New Jersey City University School of Business

“If you are ready to question ‘every aspect of the approach, methodology, biases, and deeply held assumptions’ that you have about how to be a successful leader in the volatile world that we find ourselves, then you’ll want to read Agility: Management Principles for a Volatile World.” –Jason D. Finley, Randolph Technical Career Center

“Edmondson’s work outlines the attributes that truly agile leaders should embody to bring about real and sustainable growth. He guides leaders to fully own their roles as curator, architect, conductor, humanist, advocate, and architect to create spaces that not only grow, but evolve as true learning organizations.” –Allison Rodman, Founder, The Learning Loop
