Welcome back to the second part of our interview with Professor Henry Mintzberg, Cleghorn Chair of Management Studies at McGill University in Canada.
Henry is the author of over 20 books focusing on management and strategy including his 2015 work, Rebalancing Society, the primary focus of these conversations.
In the first episode, we gained an overview of Henry’s work and the theoretical underpinnings of Rebalancing Society.
In this conversation, we begin with an exploration of how a leader could apply Henry’s research and practice to run a more successful organisation and, in so doing, help rebalance society. We explore how a more human-centred approach to leadership, with an emphasis on customer and stakeholder experience, and how valuing experienced managers over MBA-holding external hires with increased collaboration can transform outcomes for everyone. To help shape the dialogue, we use an example of a healthcare business, but the actions could work in most organisations.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
