The MBA Mindset brings together the best of contemporary management theory and practice into a single easy-to-read one-stop-shop volume. The big issues of tomorrow in leading and managing organisations are addressed by a next generation of industry leaders and entrepreneurs. Indeed, what will jobs look like for the next generation as artificial intelligence changes the very future of work itself? The MBA Mindset asks and answers the key questions. How do professional teams really work - and what can impede best practice performance including the role culture and incentives? Can management consultants help us - and if so how? Does ethic and gender diversity truly matter? Do current leaders even understand diversity and social contract - or should a constant bottom-line focus on dollars and cents take precedence? Are the strategies of yesterday still appropriate in a future Trumpian world? How can tomorrows leaders innovate for success? * Is an MBA qualification part of the answer - with strategic procrastination a good thing in charting your career path forward? This volume includes thought-leadership and reflections of diverse authors fresh from a one-year intensive MBA program. In the process, The MBA Mindset draws from the best of todays management literature to identify the scholarly thinking that is most critical to future success. The book contains practical counsel on how to move forward and implement change. No organisation can ready itself for a transformation in the future of work without considering the drivers of change already emerging today. Are we there yet? No. But adopting the MBA mindset is a critical step along the way. Will your organisation be ready - and will you be the disruptor - or else the disrupted?
