Page 7 of 7  My own interpretation is that management and followership are more comfortable bedfellows. Leadership is more aligned with participation. That is, participation offers leadership the best chance of stimulating the better, faster, more effective organizational futures. That is, one of the most helpful applications of complexity theory to organizations is that it invites a return of the 'self' to the 'role'.A greater embrace of complexity thinking by leaders is essential if organizations and institutions are going to remain concepts with which people are willing to engage, offer their best and achieve their greatest. If this is not the direction of leadership philosophy, organizations and institutions risk becoming sterile environments of empty rhetoric engaged in the debilitation of society. If Australians are known for their lack of constraint, resistance to conformity and ignorance of limitations, then embracing more of what complexity theory offers into our leadership thinking may well offer Australian business a great deal more opportunity on the world stage. In today's turbulent world, where competitors keep changing the rules of the competitive game, it is only the creative who are going to survive for any length of time. It must become the role of leaders in this kind of world not to direct others what to do but to establish the conditions in which their followers can realize their own creativity on a much larger scale than is currently the case. (Stacey 1996b) 
We begin to do so noticing that each [theory or world view] speaks to us with a different voice. If we listen carefully, we can hear each of these different voices whispering gently their truths, and finally, joining in a harmonious chorus that quietly calls us home (Wilber 2000) Reference List 1.
