I’m delighted to share this guest post from Henry Mintzberg and Peter Todd, one of the professors and Deans from m y alma mater, McGill University. Starting over, you can develop better habits in sending, receiving, and responding to messages, while severing connections with those whom you prefer to leave behind. On vacation?

I think Henry Mintzberg coined it first. Now, of course, increasingly technology is changing the way that information is distributed around organizations. Why shouldn’t we be innovative in the work of management just as we do, we in are the products and technology? That’s one set of reasons. It’s not my phrase.
The capacity and willingness of managers to plan developed throughout the century. Corporations developed large corporate units dedicated to it. Henry Mintzberg defined strategic planning as “a formalized system for codifying, elaborating and operationalizing the strategies which companies already have.”
It’s also because of the power that face-to-face meetings can have in our own development and the crafting of invaluable relationships. Technology can, of course, help to cement social ties, but only following an original personal experience. We have the technology, but we need the guidance and inspiration.”
As Henry Mintzberg noted in The Structuring of Organizations in 1979, “The words centralization and decentralization have been bandied about for as long as anyone has cared to write about organizations.” Think, for example, of legal, tax and technology experts, or costly test equipment. It is an age-old question.
