MIT Sloan School of Management

MIT Sloan School of Management is the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s management school in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Its teaching and research span business disciplines including strategy, operations, finance, entrepreneurship, and organizational studies.

Edgar H. Schein, the author of Humble Inquiry: The Gentle Art of Asking Instead of Telling, was a professor of management emeritus at MIT Sloan. His work on organizational culture and inquiry helps explain the school’s connection to the book: he examined how relationships and leaders’ behavior shape what people learn and communicate at work.
