In 2025, managers face unprecedented economic uncertainty shaped by volatile global leadership, climate change, and rapid technological shifts. Traditional management tools and professional development often fall short in addressing these complex challenges. On this episode of Delve, Professor Henry Mintzberg, renowned management scholar at McGill University's Desautels Faculty of Management, and his PhD student Hanieh Mohammadi discuss the power of self-learning and adaptive identities in helping managers navigate this turbulent landscape.
Mintzberg and Mohammadi explore the critical role of peer learning, where managers exchange ideas and real-world experiences with trusted colleagues, mentors, and professionals across disciplines. These collaborative learning moments help managers stay informed, grounded, and agile amid uncertainty – all of which can help you make smarter decisions.
Tune in to discover how embracing your multiple identities and leveraging peer networks can transform management practice in today’s fast-changing world.
