Roger Martin is a Professor Emeritus and former Dean at the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management. He is a trusted strategic advisor to the CEOs of some of the largest companies in the world, including Procter & Gamble, Lego, and Ford. In 2017, Roger was named the world’s #1 management thinker by Thinkers50, a biannual ranking of the most influential global business thinkers.
Roger has authored 13 books, including When More Is Not Better, Creating Great Choices, Getting Beyond Better, Playing to Win, and his newest book, A New Way To Think. We discuss the idea of his latest book, which identifies some classic models associated with different topics in business and thinks about a more effective model for that particular topic.
Join us as we discuss some of these topics, including a great conversation about incentive compensation in professional sales and a deep dive into the role of professional sales in academia and why it isn’t being taught at the MBA level.
