TIME TO RECONSIDER EXECUTIVE EDUCATION COURTESY OF THE RECESSION

"...In a sense the recession has done us a favor, forcing us to take a deep hard look at the way we do business. As Henry Mintzberg, Professor at Desautels Faculty of Management of McGill University argues in his article, Rebuilding Companies as Communities, in the Harvard Business Review, "companies must remake themselves into places of engagement, where people are committed to one another and their enterprise."

Mintzberg says that the recession produced a far greater crisis than an economic one - the crisis of "people's sense of belonging to and caring for something larger than themselves."
