Abstract
In October 1961, eight months into his life as Minister of Industries, Guevara stood before the entire workforce and spoke in candid terms about problems within their headquarters and with his own leadership methods. His deputy, Orlando Borrego, recalled: ‘the Minister submitted himself to such extensive self-criticism that we were all surprised’.1 The meeting was organised as part of a training programme initiative to collectively and critically analyse the work of the Ministry of Industries (MININD) and find ways of improving it.
