Managing

Management has been put aside in recent years in favor of leadership. However, in "Managing," author and acclaimed management thinker Henry Mintzberg re-emphasizes management, arguing that managers should be seen as leaders. "Managing"draws on Mintzberg's observations of twenty-nine managers, in business, government, health care, and the social sector, working in settings ranging from a refugee camp to a symphony orchestra. He learns that management is not a scienceor profession, but a practice learned primarily through experience and rooted in context. This is a timely and insightful look at what managers do - and how they can do it better.
