Henry MintzbergWhy does every generation have to think that he lives in the period with the greatest turbulence?
Henry MintzbergNever set out to be the best. It's too low a standard. Set out to be good. Do Your best.
Henry MintzbergWe have great managers who havent spent a day in management school. Do we have great surgeons that havent spent a day in surgical school?
Henry MintzbergNo job is more vital to our society than that of the manager. It is the manager who determines whether our social institutions serve us well or whether they squander our talents and resources.
Henry MintzbergI describe management as arts, crafts and science. It is a practice that draws on arts, craft and science and there is a lot of craft - meaning experience - there is a certain amount of craft meaning insight, creativity and vision, and there is the use of science, technique or analysis.
