Edge Organizations
Power to the Edge (2003) bluntly stated that existing approaches
to command and control, organization, and doctrine were not up to
the task at hand and that a new approach, based upon power to the
edge principles, was needed. The book introduced the idea of "edge
organizations" with properties of, among other things, emergent
leadership.
The two pieces posted here (one on the nature of leadership in
edge organizations, the other on the human nature and social networks)
were written by Dr. John Clippinger to serve as chapters in a book
on edge organizations. Readers should be cognizant of the fact that
these 'chapters' have been taken out of context. However, we believe
that the ideas they articulate can stand alone for they represent
two sets of hypotheses about edge organizations.
