As ‘perhaps the world’s premier management thinker’ according to Tom Peters, Henry Mintzberg, this week’s guest, has clear views on leadership and strategy. We begin with his view of the best organizations as communities of people. Leading then is about building the community – not about being the knight in shining armor with a load of followers. In this context, we turn to what it means to be strategic and then how to better develop managers for this understanding of organizations.
