INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO
AI is impacting every part of our lives—and we need to start paying more attention.
Listen to this thought-provoking conversation with Dr. Henry Mintzberg, one of the world's most influential management thinkers, whose work sits at the intersection of strategy, leadership, organizations, and community-building.
We discuss:
How technology has steadily weakened communities over the past century
Why "communityship" matters more than leadership—especially in the age of AI
Why the “plural sector” (not governments or corporations) is needed to rebalance society
How collective empathy can help restore balance to society
If you want to know why one of the world’s most influential management thinkers believes our society is out of balance —and what we can do about it—you don't want to miss this conversation.
