I’m delighted to share this guest post from Henry Mintzberg and Peter Todd, one of the professors and Deans from m y alma mater, McGill University. Do you ever disconnect, even for just a few minutes? Think about the last time you used your “off button.” Was it at home over the weekend? On vacation? Or were you at the office? BlackBerrys, iPhones, Androids, iPads, and all their digital relatives are transforming our lives—for better and for worse, with profound implications for management.

Over the past few months, there’s been a number of thought leaders and CEOs who’ve found themselves embroiled in a heated controversy as a result of expressing their opinions on various sociopolitical issues.

Last week, much of the business and technology world was abuzz over a US court’s landmark decision against Samsung that it had violated some of Apple’s software and design copyrights.
