David Hurst

David K. Hurst a speaker, educator and writer on management. As a reflective practitioner, he has a unique niche in the field. He spent twenty-five years working in corporations in several countries in a series of organizational “train wrecks” as the Western World began its radical transition from the industrial era to the age of knowledge and information. He extracted from his experience some highly innovative ideas about leadership, the management of change and the dynamics of organizations that promote creativity and learning.

He has honed these ideas for twenty years as an educator to managers and organizations around the globe. The New Ecology of Leadership: Business Mastery in a Chaotic World is his most ambitious and comprehensive book to date. It is a successor to Crisis & Renewal: Meeting the Challenge of Organizational Change.
