"Managers Not MBAs" is a book by Henry Mintzberg that critiques traditional MBA programs. Mintzberg argues that these programs often focus too much on theory and not enough on practical management skills. He believes that effective managers learn through experience rather than formal education.
The book emphasizes the importance of understanding real-world challenges and developing interpersonal skills. Mintzberg advocates for a more hands-on approach to management training, suggesting that aspiring managers should engage in real-life situations to build their capabilities. This perspective aims to reshape how management education is perceived and delivered.
