Henry Mintzberg, the guru who is known to never mince words, talks about coming full circle with his new book
Your new book was quite a long time in the gestation.
They're all about the same though it depends where you start counting!
In terms of sequence all the books I am the main author of have taken around five years -- Managers Not MBAs in 2004, before that it was Strategy Safari (1998), The Rise and Fall of Strategic Planning (1994), Mintzberg on Management (1989), Power In and Around Organizations (1983), The Structuring of Organizations (1979) and The Nature of Managerial Work in 1973.
