Complexity Theory, Philosophy, and Leadership for Modern Times: A conversation with Dr Jean Boulton

In this “long conversation” type interview, Professor Andrey Pavlov and Dr Jean Boulton (Cranfield University) take a deep dive into complexity theory and its relevance to strategy and leadership. They discuss the core attributes and implications of complexity theory, different schools of thought within complexity thinking, the resonance of complexity theory with major philosophical traditions as well as Buddhism, Daoism, and modern physics, the implications of a “complexity worldview” for acting in an uncontrollable world, and the practical lessons that complexity thinking has for management, strategic decision making, and leadership as well as for our everyday lives.
