Passion and Purpose by John Coleman
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 - this title reveals how the next generation of ideas, aspirations, and practices are shaping business and redefining leadership around the world.
"Leaders in each generation face several challenges that are quite different from those that confronted leaders in earlier generations and are also quite different from those that leaders in future generations will encounterIt was ever thus and always will be true. That is one of several reasons why I think so highly of this book." -- Blogging about Business (bobmorris.biz) Featured on the J.P. Morgan Summer Reading List for 2012 "wholly infectious", and an "upbeat, enjoyable read--as well as a useful one." -- The Financial Times "...the reader is rewarded with a richness of information and a great view of things to come in the business world, based on the stories of these young leaders. Summing Up: Recommended for students, upper-division undergraduate and up; faculty; practitioners." -- CHOICE "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)
