Críticas:

"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 encounter. It 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)

Reseña del editor:

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.
