"wholly infectious," and an "upbeat, enjoyable read--as well as a useful one." - "The Financial Times"
"Far from accounts of the stereotypical generation of entitled slackers, the stories in "Passion and Purpose" demonstrate the innovation, collaboration, efficiency, and independence of rising young leaders." -- "Training + Development Magazine"
"We're introduced to a group of highly impressive MBAs who want to change the world for the better... The result is a surprisingly compelling array of vivid storytelling that reveals this generation's ideas and aspirations." "In the end, Coleman and his two buddies have pulled together a book that is less about mainstream MBA thinking than it is a clarion call to a less-traveled, yet potentially more impactful MBA path." - John Byrne, Poets & Quants (PoetsandQuants.com)

Kurzbeschreibung
How a new generation of MBAs is changing business? Globalization. Sustainability. Technology. Diversity. Learning. Convergence of the public and private sectors. These are the big issues on the minds of young leaders today - the challenges they most want to, and must, pursue. 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 setbacks - from launching start-ups to taking on the family business to helping kids in the Arabian Gulf to harnessing new technology and developing clean energy - they 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.

An agreeable and relevant study into the nature of leadership
5. Dezember 2011
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
In 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.

Interesting and Insightful
3. Dezember 2011
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I 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.

Fantastic book full of inspiring and insightful stories
11. Dezember 2011
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
It's an interesting proposition - take a bunch of business students who've done some really interesting things with their lives, and ask them to explain what motivates them, what they hope to achieve, and what they've learned as they've gone through the process. That, fundamentally, is what Passion & Purpose is about.
The broad section outlines work well (globalisation, sustainability, technology, diversity, learning, convergence) as beacons for the stories to be organised around. There are some truly uplifting stories in here - from reforming the Met to building a not-for-profit in Kenya. For insight into what's driving the next generation of young business folks - and insight into folks using business to improve the lives of people all around the world - Passion & Purpose is a great read.
