Humans are an endangered species – Margaret Wheatley interview and book

If you wake up and wonder where things are heading in this crazy world, you will find a kindred spirit in Margaret J Wheatley. In her 40 year career as a writer and management consultant she's been doing some very deep thinking about human nature, culture, power and leadership.  Building on her earlier exploration of what it takes to persevere, Wheatley released in 2013 a challenging volume  - 'So Far from Home: Lost and Found in Our Brave New World'

It's obvious Wheatley reckons we are in a predicament.

'We're become the most endangered species on the planet because we're the least adaptive", Wheatley says.

'It's called survival of a species! That's what is going on right now – we're not acting as every other species on the planet acts, which is to take in information, make a decision about it and adapt.

There are lots of reasons for this. Critical among these, and relevant to anyone with an interest in community-based research, is a failure to give enough weight to learning.
