Managing

Henry Mintzberg

From management legend Henry Mintzberg comes the most authoritative and revealing study of the the nature of managing in our time. Through a holistic synthesis of existing data and analysis on managers, and by studying a day in the worklife of 29 managers, Mintzberg presents a complete picture of what modern managers do, how they do it, the challenges of their jobs, and how they can be most effective.

“Perhaps the world?s premier management thinker.” —Tom Peters

“One of the most original minds in management.” —Fast Company
