In a sense, "Managers Not MBAs is the sequel, delving as it does into current practice and the need for developing much better managers. The book examines what is wrong with both management education and management itself, and how both could be changed. Mintzberg explores the concept of management as a practice blending craft (experience) with art (insight) and some science (analysis). Conventional education in this realm, he says, encourages a "calculating" approach by overemphasizing the science, and a "heroic" approach by overstressing the art. Mintzberg argues instead for training balanced, dedicated managers who practice an "engaging" style, believing that their purpose is to leave behind stronger organizations, not just higher share prices. 39402 2004 Managers Not MBAs: A Hard Look at the Soft Practice of Managing and Management Development total:15|5:3|4:5|3:5|2:2| 15 54 41 2 4 0 false false Sat Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Fri Jan 04 12:18:15 -0800 2008 Fri Jan 04 12:41:51 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Wed Jul 30 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Aug 14 00:53:38 -0700 2008 Thu Aug 14 00:54:45 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Fri Nov 13 19:26:29 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 13 19:26:29 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Sep 24 11:50:48 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 24 11:50:48 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Tue Aug 18 08:49:03 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 18 08:49:03 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Fri Apr 01 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Fri Aug 07 09:25:31 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 07 09:25:48 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jul 19 14:29:31 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 19 14:29:31 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jul 16 13:26:22 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 16 13:26:22 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Apr 22 13:29:58 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 22 13:29:58 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Tue Apr 21 17:46:23 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 21 17:46:23 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Apr 14 06:12:26 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 14 06:12:26 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Mar 31 04:09:06 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 31 04:09:06 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Fri Feb 06 12:00:23 -0800 2009 Fri Feb 06 12:00:23 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jan 25 13:47:47 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 25 13:47:47 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sat Nov 15 12:51:14 -0800 2008 Sat Nov 15 12:51:16 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Fri Oct 17 00:02:54 -0700 2008 Fri Oct 17 00:02:54 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Wed Oct 15 00:45:57 -0700 2008 Wed Oct 15 00:45:57 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Thu Aug 14 01:19:26 -0700 2008 Thu Aug 14 01:19:26 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sun Jul 06 22:30:55 -0700 2008 Sun Jul 06 22:30:55 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Sun Jun 29 06:19:44 -0700 2008 Sun Jun 29 06:19:44 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=39700
