Human beings have been organizing to accomplish work for as long as we’ve existed. So why is organizational behavior still so elusive and mysterious? In this book, one of the greatest scholars in his field reframes his career’s work around the seven forces that drive all organizations. Mintzberg identifies them as efficiency, proficiency, consolidation, collaboration, culture, division, and conflict.

In this book Dr. Mintzberg provides a topography and nomenclature which allows a durable and simple way to characterize and name the primary structure, objectives, and culture of any organization under review. More importantly however he provides a framework to identify incongruities or potential areas of conflict between what an organization may aspire to be and what an organization is designed to do. Such clarity provides insights into the differences between high performance and low performance teams and organizations. This is a must read for every manager and leader.
