Managers Not MBAs

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 MailThis 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.

Henry Mintzberg is not the dean of a business school. He is Cleghorn Professor of Management Studies at McGill University in Montreal, Canada
