The vision
You can’t create a leader in a classroom. Management is not a science, nor a profession. It is a practice – it has to be appreciated through experience, in context.
Sixteen years ago, world-renowned management thinker Henry Mintzberg, professor at McGill University (Canada) and author of Managers not MBAs, set out to change management education through a masters program called the IMPM. The IMPM’s impact has been chronicled in his book. Download excerpts here:
Chapter 13 – Developing Managers: Impact of the Learning
In Chapter 14 of Managers not MBAs, Professor Mintzberg goes on to explain how the success of the IMPM lead to the development of the Advanced Leadership Program (ALP). It is based on many of the concepts and innovations within the Master’s Program but is shorter and targeted at executives and senior managers.
