Denise balances management and leadership very effectively.

Many more people are searching beyond a job or career to find a calling. McGill University management professor and author, Henry Mintzberg said, “an organization without human commitment is like a person without a soul: Skeleton, flesh, and blood may be able to consume and to excrete, but there is no life force.”

Pfeffer , Goshal , Bennis , Mintzberg , Adler , Khurana , Starkey , Podolny , to name a few. A growing segment of the workforce no longer spends their careers in the same organization, city, or even country. The public and the press are not alone in raising the question. Leading scholars, best-selling authors, deans. Let me be clear.

The answers “I am not up to much” and “I have some time on my hands, actually” are not going to do much for your internal status and career. As famous management professor Henry Mintzberg has described, much of strategy is “ emergent.” Firms often suffer from legacy products, projects, or beliefs.
