In this special feature, with the help of experts from McGill University, we’ll explore the strategic opportunities that come from engaging employees up and down the ladder – and what it means to have a hierarchy in the first place, and what it would mean to abandon them entirely.We start with Professor Henry Mintzberg, exploring how insights from across an organization can transform its strategy. Then, with help from Professor Quy Huy, we explore how emotional awareness is key to unlocking this strategic potential. And finally, we pull from anarchist perspectives to understand how hierarchies – or the abandonment of them – reflects organisations’ values and identity.

But, according to recent findings by Siddhanth Mookerjee, Assistant Professor of Marketing at McGill University, this isn’t the full story. Personal values and ideology play an increasingly important role in how consumers make purchasing decisions – particularly when it comes to supporting minority-owned businesses.In this episode of the McGill Delve podcast, Professor Mookerjee shares findings from his latest study, “Reparative Consumption: The Role of Racial Identity and White Guilt in Consumer Preferences.” He walks us through how white guilt influences consumer choices – even more than other factors like political affiliation, gender, or race. He also discusses the value of consumerism as a reparative act for businesses that experienced discrimination, and how companies should navigate questions of race when engaging with consumers.

To kick things off, we’re asking: Is meaningful work a myth?For some, their job provides nothing more than a steady paycheck. For others, it’s a deep source of meaning and satisfaction. Why is one worker disengaged when the other is not? Is it possible to pull someone out of dissatisfaction and help them find meaning again?Mike James Ross thinks so. He’s an MBA graduate from McGill University and a PhD student at Concordia University, studying the meaning of work. He’s also a Transformational Leadership Advisor at the consulting firm Egon Zehnder.It took him a while to discover what made his work meaningful to him. Now, as an educator, researcher, and consultant, he helps others find fulfilment in their careers.In this conversation, he and host Professor Saku Mantere explore the meaning of work and why humans work at all. Mike also shares his personal journey from finance lawyer to academic, how he salvaged meaning from his work when he was at his unhappiest, and he offers advice on how you can chart your own path towards fulfilment.STAY IN TOUCHhttps://bit.ly/3TiUFVw - LinkedIn, @mcgilldelvehttps://bit.ly/3Hyt6oI - YouTube, @McGillDelvehttps://bit.ly/3ZXbxVz - Instagram, McGillDelvehttps://bit.ly/3ZrNsWR - Facebook, DelveMcGillEmail us: delve@mcgill.cadelve.mcgill.caABOUT MCGILL DELVEMcGill Delve is the official thought leadership publication of the Desautels Faculty of Management at McGill University.

Need a great podcast to relax to this summer? Last February, our editor-in-chief Professor Saku Mantere sat down with Antoni Cimolino, the artistic director of the Stratford Festival for an amazing interview. Together, they unpacked lessons in leadership from the Bard himself, one of the greatest artists of all time: William Shakespeare.Shakespeare was not only a fantastic playwright, but he was also an entrepreneur. And his life and work have much to say about leadership and the perils of greed, power, and corruption – insights that are as relevant today as they were in the 16th century. This episode of the Delve podcast begins with an overview of Shakespeare's life as an entrepreneur. Then, guest Antoni Cimolino and host Saku Mantere delve into the bard's lessons in leadership, with examples from Shakespeare's plays.
