Text Quotes
Technologies tend to undermine community and encourage individualism  (Henry Mintzberg Quotes) We have great managers who havent spent a day in management school. Do we have great surgeons that havent spent a day in surgical school?  (Henry Mintzberg Quotes) Strategy is a pattern in a stream of decisions  (Henry Mintzberg Quotes) Organizational effectiveness does not lie in that narrow minded concept called rationality. It lies in the blend of clearheaded logic and powerful intuitio  (Henry Mintzberg Quotes) An obsession with control generally seems to reflect a fear of uncertainty  (Henry Mintzberg Quotes) Corporations are economic entities, to be sure, but they are also social institutions that must justify their existence by their overall contribution to society.  (Henry Mintzberg Quotes) Companies are communities. There’s a spirit of working together. Communities are not a place where a few people allow themselves to be singled out as solely responsible for success.  (Henry Mintzberg Quotes) Everyone is against micro managing but macro managing means you’re working at the big picture but don’t know the details.  (Henry Mintzberg Quotes) We’re all flawed, but basically, effective managers are people whose flaws are not fatal under the circumstances. Maybe the best managers are simply ordinary, healthy people who aren’t too screwed up.  (Henry Mintzberg Quotes) Effective managing therefore happens where art , craft, and science meet. But in a classroom of students without managerial experience, these have no place to meet there is nothing to do.  (Henry Mintzberg Quotes) This obsession with leadership... It’s not neutral; it’s American, this idea of the heroic leader who comes in on a white horse to save the day. I think it’s killing American companies  (Henry Mintzberg Quotes) If you ask managers what they do, they will most likely tell you that they plan, organise, co-ordinate and control. Then watch what they do. Don’t be surprised if you can’t relate what you see to those four words  (Henry Mintzberg Quotes) To ‘turn around’ is to end up facing the same way. Maybe that is the problem, all the turning organizations around  (Henry Mintzberg Quotes) So technologies, whether it is a telephone or an iPhone, computers in general or automobiles, television even, all individualize us. We all sit in front of our iPhones and communicating but are we really communicating?  (Henry Mintzberg Quotes) I describe management as arts, crafts and science. It is a practice that draws on arts, craft and science and there is a lot of craft - meaning experience - there is a certain amount of craft meaning insight, creativity and vision, and there is the use of science, technique or analysis  (Henry Mintzberg Quotes) Strategy is not the consequence of planning, but the opposite: its starting point  (Henry Mintzberg Quotes) Organizations are communities of human beings, not collections of human resources  (Henry Mintzberg Quotes) Empowerment is what managers do to people. Engagement is what managers do with people  (Henry Mintzberg Quotes) Learning is not doing; it is reflecting on doing  (Henry Mintzberg Quotes) Management is, above all, a practice where art, science, and craft meet  (Henry Mintzberg Quotes) Leadership, like swimming, cannot be learned by reading about it  (Henry Mintzberg Quotes) You can teach all sorts of things that improve the practice of management with people who are managers. What you cannot do is teach management to somebody who is not a manager, the way you cannot teach surgery to somebody whose not a surgeon  (Henry Mintzberg Quotes) We have great managers who haven’t spent a day in management school. Do we have great surgeons that haven’t spent a day in surgical school?  (Henry Mintzberg Quotes) Anecdotal data is not incidental to theory development at all, but an essential part of it  (Henry Mintzberg Quotes) No job is more vital to our society than that of the manager. It is the manager who determines whether our social institutions serve us well or whether they squander our talents and resources  (Henry Mintzberg Quotes) Basically, managing is about influencing action. Managing is about helping organizations and units to get things done, which means action. Sometimes, managers manage actions directly. They fight fires. They manage projects. They negotiate contracts  (Henry Mintzberg Quotes) No generalizing beyond the data, no theory. No theory, no insight. And if no insight, why do research  (Henry Mintzberg Quotes) What we call a financial crisis is really at its core a crisis of management, and not just a crisis of management, but a crisis of management culture... In other words, what you had is a detachment of people who know the business from people who are running the business  (Henry Mintzberg Quotes) That is the trouble with flying: We always have to return to airports. Thank of how much fun flying would be if we didn’t have to return to airports  (Henry Mintzberg Quotes) A leader has to be one of two things: he either has to be a brilliant visionary himself, a truly creative strategist, in which case he can do what he likes and get away with it; or else he has to be a true empowerer who can bring out the best in others  (Henry Mintzberg Quotes)
