ABSTRACT
This chapter summarizes the discussions in this book in seven principles that together constitute a philosophy of management as storymaking. Rather than a model for managing, the seven principles are part of a conceptual apparatus for thinking through problems concerning managing for sustainability. The seven principles are not stages in managing and do not form a circle that we have to move through in managing. They are parts of the same practice and are therefore dimensions in producing a whole perspective on managing when humans have been transformed into terrestrials. The seven principles concern living in Gaian landscapes, collaborating with nature, organizations as actor-networks, living life curiously, living life politically, living life aesthetically, and living life truthfully.
