Career
Patricia Ward Biederman worked as reporter at Los Angeles Times, Los Angeles, California, and at the Buffalo News, Buffalo, New York. She is a regular contributor to different periodicals, including IEEE Computer (a Publication of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc.).
Patricia wrote Organizing Genius: The Secrets of Creative Collaboration with Warren Bennis, a professor of business administration and the author of a number of books on business. Organizing Genius features profiles on six Great Groups that have altered or influenced the modern world. These groups run the gamut from Disc's animated film groups to the Manhattan Project (the group that developed and tested the atomic bomb), and from Black Mountain College (an alternative art School in North Carolina), to Bill Clinton’s 1992 presidential campaign. Bennis and Biederman find that all these groups had well-defined visions of their missions, tremendous optimism, clear demarcations of each individual's contribution, strong leaders, and common enemies. She also contributed to two other books: The Essential Bennis and Still Surprised: A Memoir of a Life in Leadership.
