BEDTIME STORIES FOR MANAGERS - HENRY MINTZBERG ...

In forty-two succinct  surprising essays  legendary scholar Henry Mintzberg brings management
down from the clouds and onto solid ground. If you're like most managers and things keep you up
at night  now you can turn to a book that's designed especially for you! But you won't find
talking rabbits or princesses here. (There is a cow  but it doesn't jump.) Henry Mintzberg has
culled forty-two of the best posts from his widely read blog and turned them into a deceptively
light  sneakily serious compendium of sometimes heretical reflections on management. The moral
here is this: managers need to leave their castles and find out what's actually going on in
their kingdoms. And like real bedtime stories  these essays have metaphors galore. So prepare
to grow strategies like weeds and organize like a cow. Discover the maestro myth of managing 
find the soft underbelly of hard data  and learn why downsizing is bloodletting and your board
should be a bee. Mintzberg writes  Just try not to be outraged by anything you read  because
some of my most outrageous ideas turn out to be my best. They just take a while to become
obvious.
