Part I — Foundations
Prologue — Heraclitus and Panta Rhei
The book opens with the oldest version of its own claim. Heraclitus is usually quoted and then set aside; here he is taken literally, as a description of organisational life rather than a saying about rivers.

The question it turns on
If nothing stands still, what is a leader actually standing on?
Where the argument is contested
Process philosophy explains why plans decay, but it does not by itself tell anyone what to do on Monday. The book accepts the charge and answers it with practice rather than theory.
To sit with
- — Which of your organisational certainties are descriptions of a moment that has passed?
- — What would change if movement were the baseline rather than the disturbance?
