How the Harvard MBA model fails the world

December 16, 2014 By Chris Corrigan Leadership, Learning, Organization, Philanthropy

Henry Mintzberg revisits some of his research and conclusions about the methods used to teach MBAs at Harvard, and his conclusions point to the near complete saturation of analysis and control that now drowns the business, government and non-profit world: When I studied management across the river in the 1960s, at the MIT Sloan School of Management, the Harvard Business School was just as renowned as it is today. But it was weak in research—in fact some of its prominent faculty derided research. The turnaround since then has been quite remarkable. In the areas I know, Harvard’s faculty is fantastic, …

Setting the stage

November 11, 2014 By Chris Corrigan Art of Hosting, Leadership, Learning One Comment

  Asheville, North Carolina We are about to begin three days of learning together, Ashley Cooper, Dana Pearlman and me.  And 27 other folks who are coming to something we called “the Art of Learning Together.” One of the core inquiries of the Art of Hosting, since it’s beginning has been “what if learning together was the form of leadership we needed now?”  It’s not that other forms of leadership AREN’T important, but that ihis particular form is not well supported.  We think of learning as something you are doing before you become a leader.   Something to do before …

The simple rules for working with complexity

June 20, 2014 By Chris Corrigan Design, Facilitation, Learning, Practice 2 Comments

Out of …
