Our intent with the concept of abundant organizations
is to both synthesize and complement insights and research
around these key concepts, adding ideas that take each
approach another step and focus it on leaders within an
organizational setting. The questions and ideas that follow
emerge from this synthesis. (See Table 2.1.) We provide an
overview of these questions here, and the remaining chapters
will probe these questions in greater detail. (See endnotes for
more on the theories that provide answers to each question.)
