Beyond the Org Chart
The org chart is a lie. It maps reporting lines but hides how work actually gets done.
Drawing on fifty years of global research and practice, Dr Reg Butterfield reveals why control-based management breaks down in permanently emergent contexts and what replaces it when we stop trying to manage what must be stewarded.

FAQs
Q. Which format is included, and which should I use?
A. The primary file is a fixed-layout EPUB, optimised for all embedded multimedia links. It works seamlessly on Apple Books, Kobo, Google Play, and most modern eReaders. A PDF version is available on request, simply reply to your purchase confirmation email if you prefer it for offline reading or printing.
Q. What is different about this book?
A. It is not a linear textbook. The book is organised into seven non-linear stages, allowing you to begin exactly where your organisational friction lies. It also integrates 30 chapter videos, 12 podcasts, and 8 original music pieces, creating a multi-sensory learning ecosystem rather than a traditional read.
Q. How do I access the complimentary coaching session?
A. Full details and a printable application form are included at the end of the book. Complete and email it back after purchase, and I will coordinate a 3-Hour online small group coaching to explore how the ideas apply to specific contexts.
Q. What if I have questions or need support after purchase?
A. Simply reply to your purchase confirmation email. I read every message and aim to respond within 24 hours with technical, conceptual, or access-related support.
