MANAGING CHANGE

(Tina Meador) #1

Does experience


lead to wisdom?


“Most people do not accumulate a body of
experience. Most people go through life under-


going a series of happenings which pass through


their systems undigested. Happenings become


experiences when they are digested, when they
are reflected on, related to general patterns, and


synthesized.”


Saul Alinsky, Rules for Radicals, quoted by Henry Mintzberg in “The Five Minds
of a Manager” HBR 11/03
