Abstract:
Mintzberg On Why You Need To View A Company As 'A Community Of Human Beings'
“I’m a human being, not a human resource”. Is something I have heard my colleague Henry Mintzberg say a number of times. It really seems to resonate with people.

Henry believes that business today in the West has too much power and we need more of the plural society.
