Passion and Purpose

Yes, Tammy Erickson is right. Millennials are different from Xers and Boomers. But millennial MBAs, particularly those from the first post-recession graduating class, are especially different from their predecessors. Here, for the first time and coming straight from the source 38 young MBAs reflect on business, leadership, and life, offering a rare "behind-the-scenes" look at the way their ideas, aspirations, attitudes, and practices are shaping business as they take on the mantle of leadership.§Approaching the world in bold and innovative ways, this new generation of MBAs explores such questions as: How will we lead in a post-crisis world? How can business be a force for good? What is the meaning of a career in business? As the first generation raised in a truly global and networked world, these young leaders share their visions for the future, how they plan to eliminate boundaries and pursue roles that integrate the public, private, and non-profit sectors, and how they are beginning to lay the foundation for ethical and economic recovery and long-term innovation.§Through provocative and inspirational first-person accounts, ReImagining Leadership explores this generational shift and offers all those in business especially managers who will oversee or work alongside these younger MBAs deeper insight into the needs and expectations, aspirations and values of the next generation of leaders.§Additionally, every chapter will end with senior leader interviews, in order to provide a generational perspective.
