IMPM helps business leaders see the world from different perspectives

There are many ways of looking at the world, and we can all benefit by looking at it from a different perspective. McGill’s International Masters Program for Managers has been helping business leaders understand different mindsets for more than 25 years, writes Ian Wylie in the Financial Times. It delivers education at universities in five countries, including Lancaster University in the UK. There, they learn about the reflective mindset of local Quakers. “We think of mindfulness and reflection a social and collaborative practice,” says Martin Brigham, IMPM Worldwide Academic Director and Program Chair. “Many executives make decisions in an unthinking way, like we change gears in a car. Reflection is a way of making you think about your thinking rather than just doing what you’ve done in the past.”
