High reliability organizations (HROs) such as ER units in hospitals
or firefighting units are designed to perform efficiently under extreme
stress and pressure. Using HROs as the model for the 21st century
organization, Karl Weick and Kathleen Sutcliffe show readers how
to respond to unexpected challenges with flexibility rather than
rigidity and to reduce the disruptive effects of change by using
tools such as sensemaking, stress reduction, migrating decisions,
and labeling. Introducing the powerful new concept of "mindfulness,"
the authors outline five qualities of the mindful organization and
the organizational skills needed to achieve them. Each concept is
clearly expressed in vivid case studies of organizations that demonstrate
mindful practices in action.A Book in the University of Michigan
