A touchstone for understanding how we behave on the job "This is a stimulating and provocative book in bringing together important ideas from different fields, and, thereby, giving us a whole new slant on 'human nature.'" —Edgar H. Schein, Sloan Fellows Professor of Management Emeritus and Senior Lecturer, MIT In this astonishing, provocative, and solidly researched book, two Harvard Business School professors synthesize 200 years of thought along with the latest research drawn from the biological and social sciences to propose a new theory, a unified synthesis of human nature. Paul Lawrence and Nitin Nohria have studied the way people behave in that most fascinating arena of human behavior—the workplace—and from their work they produce a book that examines the four separate and distinct emotive drives that guide human behavior and influence the choices people make: the drives to acquire, bond, learn, and defend. They ultimately show that, just as advances in information technology have spurred the New Economy in the last quarter of the twentieth century, current advances in biology will be the key to understanding humans and organizations in the new millennium.

good mangement based on action and the judgment of the individual
manager on deciding appropriate action.
Based on a groundbreaking study, analysing data on 200 management
practices gathered over a 10 year period. Reveals the effectiveness
of the 4+2 practices (4 primary and 2 of 4 possible secondary)
practices that really matter -- the ones that, if followed
rigorously, ensure sustained business success. With a new
introduction by the authors. With hundreds of well-known management
practices and prescriptions promoted by consultants and available
to business, which are really effective and contribute to the
growth and continued success of a company? Which do little or
nothing? Based on the "Evergreen Project," a massive, 5 year study
involving the business school faculties of ten universities, the
authors set out to find the management practices that truly promote
long-term growth and success. Their findings will revolutionize the
art and practice of business management.The book shows that there
are essentially six management practices that all successful
companies must master simultaneously. They range from focusing on a
strategy of growth to maintaining the depth and quality of human
talent in the organization.
What separates the wannabes from the great achievers? For
internationally renowned management experts Jim Champy and Nitin
Nohria, the key ingredient is ambition. Showcasing the experiences
of dozens of contemporary and historical figures from all walks of
life, The Arc of Ambition is a practical and inspirational guide to
harnessing your ambition and leaving a legacy of accomplishment.
