A discussion with Henry Mintzberg about his book, Rebalancing Society: Radical Renewal, Beyond Left, Right and Center. Enough of the imbalance that is destroying our democracies, our planet, and ourselves. Enough of the pendulum politics of left and right, as well as the paralysis in the political center. The world we live in needs a form of radical renewal unprecedented in the human experience. This conversation presents an integrative framework to suggest a comprehensive way forward.
