Samenvatting:

In an increasingly complex world, being agile means continuously adapting and evolving with fluidity, thanks to a high-quality dialogue between our identity and our environment. Agility reconnects us with life; we gain freedom and elegance.

This book answers questions such as:

• How can we improve our ability to sense weak signals, strategize and then act accordingly?
• Is management (the social technology of the industrial world) dead? How should it evolve?
• How can we effectively mobilize people and develop a context favourable to adaptation and innovation?
• What must be organized for self-organization to flourish?
• How do ants, bees, or schools of fish self-organize?
• What can we learn from Nature in its ability to evolve?
• How can Chinese thought and Taoism help us navigate in a complex world?
• What do Nietzsche, Montaigne or Leibniz have to say about Agility?
• What can we learn from the French and English approaches to gardens?
• How can we better go with the flow?
• In essence, how can we better dance with Life?

Guiding you through mental models and practices to become agile at a both individual and collective level, nurtured by multiple sources, this book provides a holistic perspective to provoke your thought and encourage you to act and start dancing.
