Welcome

I have prepared this website in response to requests for information on my background and my activities. You can click to my articles, books, interviews, talks, and videos, as well as some personal interests (short stories, beaver sculptures). Also connect to several of the unusual programs that we have developed, also to my blog, plus Linkedin, Twitter @mintzberg141, and Mail Chimp (direct).

(Website updated in April 2024)

Blog

This blog is about reframing management and lots more. It started as a TWOG (TWeet 2 blOG) but is now also a much LinkedIn 2 blog. Every few weeks, from pithy pronouncements in a line or few to playful provocations in a page or few. See the BLOGs directly (now numbering over 200 posts), connect to them via LinkedIn or twiXer, or subscribe on MailChimp.

Minutes with Mintzberg

Over 40 short videos about reframing management, society, health care, and more, most excerpted from question & answer events on Zoom. Connect on YouTube, also see the rest of my channel there.

I like to write short stories—not fiction, but based on personal experiences. I have done about thirty in all. Five are included here.

HM Co-founded Programs

I participate in various of the five 11 day modules, in this program for health care managers from around the world, developing together while addressing major issues in the field.
This is not an MBA — it's an international Masters degree for managers learning together from their own experience. Modules take place in Lancaster, Montreal, Bangalore, Yokohama, and Rio. I teach in several.
Peer coaching: Managers meet informally in small groups in their own workplace to develop themselves. I have authored a number of the over 80 topics in the program.
