The power to change things lies within us. Presented in this book is a theory of how shifts in the self can have profound shifts in corporations, markets, systems, and the world. As Gandhi said: 'Be the change you wish to see in the world.' But the elaboration of how this is true may remain a mystery for many. The theory of organization introduced in this book indicates a fractal reality in which an idea, a person, a team, a corporation, a market, a system, which are progressively more complex constructs, are concretely connected through common and linked patterns that animate each of these separate levels. Hence, the power to positively change complex and removed arenas of life by making corresponding changes in one's personal space becomes more real.

Connecting Inner Power with Global Change: the Fractal Ladder presents ideas and concepts through reader-friendly figures and tables for better understanding. It will be a useful resource for professionals working in the field of business and management.
