What Managers Do and Can Do Better

One of the issues Mintzberg addresses in his original 2009 title, 'Managing', is the frenetic pace and relentless pressures of the job- most managers hardly have time to think, and so the revised and updated distilled version of his title was born.

The core of the book remains the same: Mintzberg's observations of 29 different managers working in diverses settings. What he saw led him to develop a new model of management, one firmly grounded in his conclusion that it is not a profession or a science, rather it is a practice learned through experience and rooted in context.

This is the most authoritative and revealing book yet written about what managers do, how they do it, and how they can have the greatest impact.
