Back to Balance | Henry Mintzberg | TEDxMcGill

The Berlin Wall fell on us. The belief in 1989 that “Capitalism triumphed” was dead wrong. Balance triumphed in the West over the imbalance of communist states dominated by their public sectors. But thanks to this misunderstanding, capitalism has been triumphing ever since, throwing much of the world out of balance in favor of private sector interests, with a host of dangerous consequences, global warming being just one. Businesses will not get us out of this—corporate social responsibility will not compensate for the current levels of corporate social irresponsibility—nor will governments, with so many now coopted by private interests. Change will have to come as widespread efforts from the ground up. This happened in 1776 and 1789, and began on a bus in Alabama in 1955. It will have to happen again now—communally and globally. There is nothing utopian about saving our planet and our progeny.
Currently, Henry Mintzberg, masters and doctorate from the MIT Sloan School, holds the Cleghorn Professorship of Management Studies.
Professor Mintzberg has worked in collaboration with colleagues from Canada, England, France, India, Japan, and now China and Brazil, on developing new approaches to management education and development. The International Masters in Practicing Management has been running since 1996 and the International Masters for Health Leadership since 2006. Both are rather novel ways to help managers learn from their own experience. He teaches in these programs and otherwise supervise doctoral students.
In 2007, with three of his colleagues developed CoachingOurselves.com, which brings all these efforts to natural fruition, by enabling small groups of practicing managers to develop themselves and their organizations in their own workplace. A GROOC (MOOC for groups) called Social Learning for Social Impact will appear on edX since September 2015.
