Kaufoptionen und Plus-Produkte
In Passion and Purpose, dozens of recent Harvard Business School MBAs share personal stories on assuming the mantle of leadership in ways unlike any previous generation. In candid accounts of their successes and setbacksfrom launching start-ups to taking on the family business to helping kids in the Arabian Gulf to harnessing new technology and developing clean energythey reveal how the next generation of ideas, aspirations, and practices are shaping business and redefining leadership around the world.
Drawing on insights from a survey of 500 students from top U.S. business schools, Passion and Purpose provides an overview of big, hot-button issues, followed by firsthand accounts from young leaders who are tackling these issues head-on. Their personal stories are rounded out with broader perspectives from established luminaries in business, academia, and the public sector, including Dominic Barton (Managing Director of McKinsey & Company), Nitin Nohria (dean of Harvard Business School), David Gergen (CNN analyst, presidential advisor and director of Harvard’s Center for Public Leadership), Carter Roberts (CEO of World Wildlife Fund), and many others.
Passion and Purpose offers profound insight into the values and vision of tomorrow’s leaders, and inspiration and ideas for all aspiring leaders who hope to lead change in the world.

Bewertet in den USA am5. Dezember 2011In an age and global business climate of increasing diversity, plurality, and complexity Passion and Purpose, written in a lucid and accessible style, offers a timely study into the activities and pursuits of young business leaders. The testimonial stories are refreshingly honest and transparent as emerging leaders, involved in a variety of different fields and work environments, candidly discuss their career goals and noble aspirations and also the inevitable obstacles and setbacks they have encountered along the way. These reflections yield valuable insights into the nature of risk, failure, and consequential decision making, along with the opportunities for the professional and personal growth that can result through tackling difficult problems and engaging with pressing business challenges head on. Most encouraging to me is that this group of MBAs seems to intuitively understand that what the global business culture of the future needs is principled servant leadership that rises above the pettiness of self-seeking narrow ambition and strives to bring out the best qualities in all whom they influence - Leadership that elevates the needs of our society as a whole. Examples of virtuous, sacrificial leadership cannot be shared often enough. Through undertaking this project John Coleman, Daniel Gulati, and W. Oliver Segovia have done the business world a most welcome service. I heartily recommend Passion and Purpose.

Bewertet in den USA am13. Februar 2012As a student in a non-Harvard MBA program, this book echoes many of the themes I hear from peers looking to find meaning to accompany their future paychecks. The book does read like a series of admission essays, sadly, but if you can cut through the formulaic approach taken by many of the contributors you will find some very interesting stories from MBAs that have taken the less-well-worn path. The book lacks diversity -- most contributors have an affiliation with either HBS or McKinsey -- but I think the themes are valid. Ironically, for a book about the "new leadership" the end-of-chapter interviews with experienced industry heads are probably the best part.
The values driving the latest generation of MBAs are hard to define but certainly shifting beyond simply providing financial returns to shareholders. I think this book is an admirable effort to place a stake in the ground regarding the most important trends for future government and business leaders to focus on.

Bewertet in den USA am15. März 2015The book discusses the axes current and future leaders must consider in building successful businesses. Those axes are: Convergence, Globalization, People, Sustainability, Technology and Learning. Through the stories of HBS graduates, the book explores different facets of each of those axes, emphasizing on why they are important and presenting specific experiences of how they've been implemented.
I find the structure of the book suitable to its purpose; it's at the intersection between a rigidly structured work and a story: So they are stories organized according to a specific structure.
Knowledge in Business Administration is sometimes required to fully grasp some insights of the book though this doesn't prevent from arriving at an honorable understanding of the subject matter. The book is also abundant with some by-products insights that any would-to-be businessperson will find useful.
I recommend it!

Bewertet in den USA am18. Dezember 2011Each one of the book's contributors, a true mosaic of socially-conscious innovators, offers a unique perspective on a different leadership topic. These individuals emphasize the breadth of twenty-first century business and how the reach of their enterprises often extends beyond purely the private sector, engaging public-sector institutions and common global social issues. By juxtaposing these young business leaders' stories with interviews of business school deans, storied CEOs and other accomplished professionals, the book's scope is expanded and provides historical business context to the central themes that the authors present.
Touching on a variety of timely subjects--globalization, technology, learning, sustainability, etc--Passion & Purpose creates a new and refreshing dialogue illustrating those merging individual passions with innovative business leadership. I found the stories and people profiled both moving and inspiring.

Bewertet in den USA am3. Dezember 2011I think the authors have taken a very interesting and insightful look at the challenges of leadership in the changing world we live in. I found the passion of these young people as they related their stories in the interviews to be encouraging and hopeful. As older people we always look for positive examples from the next generation. I found those positive examples in these young leaders. Well written and well worth the time spent reading it. I am going to recommend Passion and Purpose to my friends.

Bewertet in den USA am30. Oktober 2013This really seems like some kind of pep talk book for students and grads, full of stories by other grads who seem rather full of themselves. Sure, there are some interesting stories, however, the reality that most grads should brace themselves for is rather more mundane corporate jobs where falling in line with the boss is more the norm. Defeat lye give this a miss if you're in the corporate world and in your thirties...

Endlich ein Buch, das die Perspektive der Generation Y im Kontext von Führung behandelt. Mir haben besonders die Beispiele aus dem non profit Bereich gefallen. Lohnt sich!
