A leading authority on business strategy, Henry Mintzberg is Professor of Management at McGill University in Montreal, Canada and a Visiting Scholar at INSEAD in Fontainbleau, France. His entire career has focused on understanding how big business make decisions. In 2009 and 2007 Thinkers 50, the global ranking of management gurus, placed him among the list of most influential thinkers.
Professor Mintzberg has devoted himself largely to writing and research about managerial work, strategy formation, and forms of organizing. In 2004 he published Managers Not MBAs, in 2007, Tracking Strategies and in 2009 Managing.
In collaboration with colleagues from Canada, England, France, India, and Japan, Mintzberg has worked for much of the past decade to develop new approaches to management education and development. The International Masters in Practicing Management has been running since 1996; the Advanced Leadership Program and the International Masters for Health Leadership have been running since 2006. All are rather novel ways to help managers learn from their own experience.
In 2007, along with Phil LeNier, Sasha Sadilova, and Jonathan Gosling, Mintzberg created CoachingOurselves.com, which brings all these efforts to natural fruition: practicing managers developing themselves in small groups. Mintzberg teaches in these programs and supervises doctoral students.
In all, Professor Mintzberg has published about 150 articles and 15 books. Honors have included election as an Officer of the Order of Canada and of l'Ordre national du Quebec, selection as Distinguished Scholar for the year 2000 by the Academy of Management, and two McKinsey prizes for articles in the Harvard Business Review.
