title: Organizations are relationships. A new view of management.
abstract: Organizations are living entities, composed of people in relationships. The old management paradigm centered around the machine. Management's function was to control and manage the machine. Viewing organizations as living open systems demands different leadership-leaders who treat people and organizations as self-organizing and self-renewing, and who see the work as being accomplished through relationships. They are living the new leadership based on new science principles.
