Comme les microbrasseries, les microdistilleries se sont multipliées de façon spectaculaire au cours des dernières années. Aux États-Unis, leur nombre est passé de 50 à 700 en moins de 10 ans. Au Canada, on retrouve aussi des vodkas, des brandys et des gins artisanaux de qualité. Mais les réglementations provinciales ne facilitent pas la vie des distillateurs artisanaux.

Henry Mintzberg: The first rule of academia: “Don’t bite the hand that feeds you.”
Mintzberg did just that in 2004, when he authored Managers Not MBAs. The premise? MBA programs were teaching management backwards by focusing on science over craft and experience. “In management, if you don’t have the practice, the science doesn’t take you very far,” he told Poets & Quants. “And if you leave the MBA program with the impression that you can manage, you tend to lean on technique and numbers, and so you’ve got all kinds of people mismanaging because of that.”

At the Inuulitsivik Health Centre, where she is chief of medicine, Dr. Auclair oversees the scheduling for physicians in three remote Inuit communities clustered along the shores of Hudson Bay: Puvirnituq, Inukjuak and Salluit.
She also recruits new doctors who, like her, have travelled thousands of kilometres to practise medicine in the Canadian North. Its a balancing act.

Efforts to advance evidence-based approaches to diversity and inclusion are more important than ever, particularly in the wake of the U.S. election. The campaign and its outcome exposed misogyny and racism and seemingly legitimized barbaric views on women and immigrants.

Henry Mintzberg, John Cleghorn professor of management studies, McGill University’s Desautels Faculty of Management
