Dr. Margaret Wheatley

Margaret Wheatley, Ed.D. began caring about the world's peoples in 1966, as a Peace Corps volunteer in post-war Korea. In many different roles - speaker, teacher, consultant, advisor, formal leader - her work has deepened into an unshakable conviction that leaders must learn how to invoke people's inherent generosity, creativity and need for community. As this world tears us apart, sane leadership on behalf of the human spirit is the only way forward.

She is co-founder and president of The Berkana Institute, an organizational consultant since 1973, a global citizen since her youth, and a prolific writer. She has authored thirteen books, starting with the classic Leadership and the New Science. She has been honored for her groundbreaking work by many professional associations, universities, and organizations.
