Managers Not MBAs: A Hard Look at the Soft Practice of Managing and Management Development
by Henry Mintzberg
Berrett-koehler | May 15, 2005 | Trade Paperback
The Financial Times called bestselling Canadian author Henry Mintzberg one of the Top 10 Management Thinkers in the world. "[A] constantly stimulating book ... It should be required reading for anyone who has the qualification, wants one, or just wonders what all the fuss is about." -Economist "Managers, Not MBAs is an inspiring and insightful book. It will revolutionize your thinking about what makes management education tick." -Globe and Mail This controversial and thought-provoking book is the most extensive critique of management education ever published. According to management expert Henry Mintzberg, MBA programs train the wrong people in the wrong ways-with the wrong consequences. They encourage calculating and heroic styles of management that damage our organizations and undermine our democratic institutions. The author takes a look at the practice of managing and suggests that we encourage a more engaging style that brings out the natural energy within people, leaving behind stronger organizations, not just higher share prices.
