Hear Mintzberg in conversation with Desautels Professor Saku Mantere in a big-picture Delve podcast on crucial management, leadership, and organizational issues.
This conversation launches the fourth season of the Delve podcast, dedicated to thought leadership and critical thinking in management research at the 平特五不中 Desautels Faculty of Management. Mintzberg changed the management landscape with his concepts of strategies: 鈥淪trategies are learned: you try things, you do different things, you hit something, you discover something you didn't expect,鈥 he says. Mintzberg. In recent years, Mintzberg has expanded his research to explore broader, timely, and pressing societal questions that tackle climate change, education, political divides, and social inequities.
鈥淐limate change isn't a single problem, it's all the world's problems,鈥 says Mintzberg. 鈥淚t has to do with inequality as much as it has to do with technology, it has to do with world politics鈥 We will get nowhere on climate change until we rebalance society, we will get nowhere with income disparities until we rebalance society, we will get nowhere with the demise of democracies until we rebalance societies and the globe.鈥
