Henry Mintzberg is a Professor of Strategy and Organization at the Desautels School of Management of McGill University and the author of several comprehensive books on strategy, management, and society. He says great strategic insights can come from anywhere and anyone in an institution – you just have to open yourself to it.
He joins host Saku Mantere for an interview on the Delve podcast.

Bribery. Corruption. Ethical misconduct. These terms have strong connotations, inspiring images of high-level conspiracy and backroom deals. But bribery can occur at any level of an institution, from front-line workers to powerful executives.
