The Canadian professor Henry Mintzberg has recently published a new book. Not surprisingly, it is called Managing. Since his first publications on his research, he noted that there is virtually nothing written about the daily work and life of managers. There is however, an abundance of literature on what managers are supposed to do. When he wrote Managers, not MBA’s, there was a sigh of relieve by managers around the globe. Finally, recognition! From what I hear, he is a little controversial in the USA, but I don’t know this for sure. Maybe his original (and skeptical) way of thinking doesn’t sit well with everyone. He is however, very popular in Europe. On YouTube I found this interesting clip, where he shares his views on management and how we think we make decisions in our lives. A must see clip!
