This Necessary Conversation is sponsored by the
Donahue Center for Business Ethics & Social Responsibility in the Manning School of Business at UMass-Lowell.
Topic for this Conversation:
Humanizing society by humanizing management and organizations
It is no secret that humanity is facing multiple crises. In his work Henry Mintzberg has addressed how organizations and their managers can facilitate problem solving. This will be an open discussion relating to some of the main work Henry Mintzberg has been doing, on the nature of managing, the structuring of organizations, and the rebalancing of our societies.
Henry Mintzberg about Henry Mintzberg:
I am a writer and educator, mostly about managing organizations, developing managers, and rebalancing societies (where my attention is currently focused), also an outdoorsman and collector of
beaver sculptures
.
After receiving my bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from McGill University in Montreal (1961), working in Operational Research for the Canadian National Railways (1961-1963), and doing my masters and PhD at the MIT Sloan School of Management (1965 and 1968), I have made my professional home in the Desautels Faculty of Management at McGill. I sit in the Cleghorn Chair of Management Studies (half-time since the mid-1980s), and have had extensive visiting professorships at INSEAD in France and the London Business School in England.
I have authored 20
books
, including
Managers not MBAs
,
Simply Managing
,
Rebalancing Society
and
Managing the Myths of Health Care
, also 180
articles
plus numerous
commentaries
and
videos
. I now publish a regular TWOG (TWeet 2 blOG), as "provocative fun in a page or 2 beyond pithy pronouncements in a line or 2" (
@mintzberg141
to
mintzberg.org/blog
). A collection is being published under the title
Bedtime Stories for Managers
, and following that will be
Understanding Organizations...finally
(a revision of my book
Structure in Fives
).
I co-founded and remain active in the International Masters Program for Managers (
impm.org
) and the International Masters for Health Leadership (
imhl.org
) as well as a venture
CoachingOurselves.com
, all novel initiatives for managers to learn together from their own experience, the last in their own workplace.
Some consequences of all this have been election to the Order of Canada and l'Ordre national du Quebec as well as to the Royal Society of Canada (the first from a management faculty), two prize- winning
Harvard Business Review
articles, and twenty honorary degrees from universities around the world.
I may spend my professional life dealing with organizations, but I continue to spend my private life escaping from them, especially in the Laurentian wilderness of Canada, usually with my partner and sometimes with my two daughters and three grandchildren. (See
