Prof. Henry Mintzberg shares insights from his book, Bedtime Stories for Managers.

Delegating work can help free up managers’ time and energy while empowering employees to take on meaningful tasks.

However, previous research has highlighted that delegating decision-making can sometimes lead to employees feeling overly burdened. In a new paper, researchers explore the negative impact that transferring choice responsibility can have on delegator-delegate relationships. They propose research-backed solutions for delegating decisions more fairly, aiming to mitigate some of the negative interpersonal consequences of delegation.

INTRODUCTION

PART 1: WHAT MAKES A SUCCESSFUL

PART 7: THE QUIET STRENGTH OF LEADERSHIP

CONCLUSION

PART 3: HOW TO MANAGE YOUR TEAM

Benjamin was born in Oxford in 1979 and raised in Staines-upon-Thames, before chasing a dream of musical stardom through London, Europe, and Japan. After years on the road as a singer-songwriter, burnout brought him to Australia, and into the world of sales.

What began as a way to pay the rent turned into an unexpected detour through sales floors, management roles, and eventually, a full-blown identity crisis wrapped in KPIs and corporate buzzwords. Along the way, Benjamin discovered that creativity and leadership don’t have to be mutually exclusive, and that the biggest challenge facing new managers isn’t talent, but support.

With a sharp sense of humour and a keen eye for the absurdities of office life, Benjamin writes for those who’ve stepped into leadership and found themselves wondering, “Wait… is this it?” His mission is simple: to help others survive and thrive in the strange world of middle management.

“Incompris, livrés à eux-mêmes, mais pas incompétents!”

Rien n’existe pour aider les Business Analysts à asseoir leur rôle. Forcés d’être autodidactes, ils perdent confiance en eux alors qu’ils sont simplement plongés dans un environnement économique qui n’est pas encore vraiment prêt pour eux, car peu ou pas mature en ce qui concerne la compréhension de la Business Analyse. 

Pourquoi attendre que les organismes officiels de formation prennent enfin en considération notre pratique opérationnelle sur le terrain?

Nous, les Business Analysts en devenir ou expérimentés, avons le pouvoir de faire reconnaître notre rôle et de l’incarner avec assurance.

C’est la raison d’être de Best Of Business Analyst, l’écosystème complet pour se former au métier, reprendre les rênes de sa carrière et enfin s’épanouir dans sa vie (car tout est lié!).
