Henry Mintzberg appreciates that managers are busy people. So he has taken his classic book Managing, done some updating, and distilled its essence into a lean 176 pages of text. The essence of the book remains the same: what Mintzberg learned from observing twenty-nine managers in settings ranging from a refugee camp to a symphony orchestra. Simply Managing considers the intense dynamics of this job as well as its inescapable conundrums, for example:
• How is anyone supposed to think, let alone think ahead, in this frenetic job?
• Are leaders really more important than managers?
• Where has all the judgment gone?
• Is email destroying management practice?
• How can managers connect when their job disconnects them from what they are managing?
“Mintzberg is a fine writer, with a penchant for humor.”—The Globe and Mail
 
“Mintzberg does not accept conventional wisdom—he challenges it constantly…erudite as well as practical.”—Choice
“Perhaps the world’s premier management thinker.”—Tom Peters
