This episode marks the third week in a row I’ve welcomed a university professor (or former professor). First Harvard, then Yale, and today’s guest, formerly of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management. I feel smarter just having been around them these last few weeks.
That guest today is making a returning visit to us. His name is Roger L. Martin and his latest book (his 13th) is called A New Way to Think: Your Guide to Superior Management Effectiveness.
Over a stellar career, Roger has advised the CEOs of some of the world’s most successful companies.
From the beginning, he noted that almost every executive he talked to had a “model”—a framework or way of thinking that guided their strategy and activities. But these models tended to become automatic, so much so that when one didn’t work, the typical response was just to apply it again—with greater enthusiasm.
Reading like a series of one-on-one sessions with one of the world’s leading business thinkers, A New Way to Think is an essential guide for any current or aspiring business leader.
I hope you’ll click the play button below to learn more about Roger and his work. For a summary, just keep scrolling.
