Provides an overview of the big issues in the business world today, with firsthand accounts from young leaders tasked with tackling these issues head on. From questions about globalization and sustainability to issues surrounding diversity, learning, and the convergence of the public and private sectors, tomorrow's leaders have a lot to think about. But these big issues aren't the only ones facing young leaders starting out in business today. What else are they focused on? And how do they prioritize the challenges and opportunities before them--while also making the world a better place? In Passion and Purpose, recent Harvard Business School MBAs share personal stories about assuming the mantle of leadership in ways unlike any previous generation. IN candid, often moving accounts of their successes and setbacks--from launching start-ups or taking on the family business to helping kids in the Arabian Gulf or harnessing new technology to develop clean energy--they reveal how their generation's ideas, aspirations, and practices are radically reshaping business and transforming leadership. Drawing on insights from a survey of five hundred students from top U.S. business schools, Passion and Purpose provides an overview of today's big hot-button issues, followed by firsthand accounts from the 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 (Global Managing Director of McKinsey and Company), Deb Henretta (Group President of Proctor and Gamble Asia), Nitin Nohria (Dean of Harvard Business School), David Gergen (Director of the Center for Public Leadership at the Harvard Kennedy School, senior political analyst for CNN, and former presidential adviser), Carter Roberts (President and CEO of World Wildlife Fund), Joe Kennedy (CEO and President of Pandora), and RIch Lyons (Dean of Haas Business School, University of California-Berkley).
