About the Author
Thriving in Entropy is a series of frameworks, real-world cases, and neuroscience backed tools for adaptive, resilient thinking that excels in complexity and change.
Leonard Weise is a strategist, entrepreneur, and thought leader specializing in organizational adaptation and complexity management. As founder and engineer, he transformed complex financial data challenges into a streamlined, profitable platform without external funding—demonstrating firsthand the principles of adaptive capacity outlined in this book.
Weise's expertise extends beyond technology to high-stakes corporate restructuring, where he played a key role in guiding China's fourth-largest airline through a comprehensive debt-driven transformation. This experience provided valuable insights into how large organizations can navigate extreme uncertainty while maintaining operational continuity.
Known for his ability to see patterns within complexity, Weise combines analytical rigor with practical implementation. His approach breaks down seemingly intractable problems into manageable components, identifying opportunities that conventional frameworks often miss. This methodology has made him a sought-after advisor for organizations facing disruptive change across industries.
Weise holds advanced degrees in business and systems thinking, and regularly contributes to leading management publications on topics related to organizational resilience, strategic adaptation, and harnessing entropy for competitive advantage. He divides his time between consulting, writing, and speaking engagements, helping leaders develop the skills needed to thrive in increasingly unpredictable environments.
