Trump : à défaut de pouvoir voter, nous pouvons agir
Ecrit par Henry Mintzberg
Nous, au Canada, aux côtés d'autres personnes du monde entier, n'avons pas pu voter aux dernières élections américaines. Toutefois, nous devrons vraisemblablement en souffrir les conséquences à l'échelle internationale. Devons-nous rester inactifs, comme à l'habitude, et assister au déroulement des choses, y compris des possibles effets catastrophiques des changements climatiques, si rien n'est fait?
The Rest Of The World Couldn't Vote, But We Can Act
We in Canada, along with many other people around the world, did not get to vote in the recent American election -- yet we are meant to suffer the international consequences of it. Shall we sit back, as usual, and watch events unfold, including the possibly catastrophic effects of climate change left unchecked?
« Les avocats ont un cerveau différent »
...Le fait est que ça ne suffit pas de connaître seulement la loi : il faut avoir des connaissances en gestion, en relations interpersonnelles, mais les Facs de droit continuent d’enseigner ce qui était utile voici 25 ans. Il faut que ça change. Le spécialiste de la gestion de l’Université 鶹AV, Harry Mintzberg, l’a écrit : le monde a besoin de gestionnaires, pas de détenteurs de MBA. C’est la même chose en droit : il faut des avocats bien formés, pas seulement des juristes.

Musings on management
Written by Henry Mintzberg
Management is a curious phenomenon. It is generously paid, enormously influential, and significantly devoid of common sense.
At least, the hype about management lacks common sense, as does too much of the practice. I should really say im-practice, because the problems grow out of the disconnection between management and the managed.
Kevin O’Leary is Wrong! It is NOT All About The Money!
I once went to see Kevin O’Leary at a Fireside Chat at Ryerson University’s Ted Rogers School of Management, just to experience him in a more intimate situation. He was as abrasive and blunt as he was on Dragon’s Den. He still said “it was all about the money” and it made me sad. Read what he says about business being war. I hate war and violence and we do not need more of that in our world.
Giving all citizens a ‘loud and clear’ voice on health

Notre interrogation est la suivante : où sont les Américains honnêtes parmi la classe politique et la population?
Managers, et si vous appreniez à... vous taire!
...Bref, nombre de dirigeants d'entreprise gagneraient clairement à apprendre à se taire. Ne serait que pour mieux écouter ce que les autres ont à leur dire.
Master of None: Wisdom of an MBA
“It is time to recognise conventional MBA programs for what they are,” says Henry Mintzberg, professor of management studies at 鶹AV in Montreal, and one of the four all-time gurus of strategy. “MBA programs train the wrong people in the wrong ways with the wrong consequences.
