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. You have a choice: Will you control technology so that it works for you, or will you let it undermine your practice of management? Do you ever disconnect, even for just a few minutes?

Technology can, of course, help to cement social ties, but only following an original personal experience. The fascination with the upcoming meeting, event, or deal keeps you fully energized, alert, productive, engaged, and happy. I plan my travel up to two years in advance so that I can make trips especially productive.

As Henry Mintzberg noted in The Structuring of Organizations in 1979, “The words centralization and decentralization have been bandied about for as long as anyone has cared to write about organizations.” Having the same unit do more of the same task leads to continuity, standardization, specialization, leverage, and productivity.
