A touchstone for understanding how we behave on the job
"That is a stimulating and provocative publication in bringing together important ideas from different areas, and, thereby, providing us a complete new slant on 'individuals characteristics.'" --Edgar H. Schein, Sloan Fellows Professor of Management Emeritus and Senior Lecturer, MIT
With this amazing, provocative, and solidly investigated publication, two Harvard Business College professors synthesize 200 many years of thought along with the latest research drawn from the natural and communal sciences to propose a new theory, a unified synthesis of individuals characteristics. Paul Lawrence and Nitin Nohria have analyzed just how people behave in that most fascinating area of individuals behavior-the workplace-and using their company work they create a publication that examines the four different and specific emotive drives that guide individuals behavior and affect the options people make: the drives to obtain, connection, learn, and defend. They finally show that, as advances in information technology have spurred the brand new Economy within the last one fourth of the twentieth century, current advances in biology will be the key to understanding humans and organizations in the new millennium.
