Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Clayton M. Christensen from Harvard Business School teaches aspiring MBAs to apply management and innovation theories for building stronger companies, while also emphasizing their relevance in leading fulfilling lives. He addresses essential questions: How can I find happiness in my career? How can I ensure my family relationships are a lasting source of joy? How can I live with integrity? The answer to career happiness stems from Frederick Herzberg's insight that the strongest motivator is not money, but the chance to learn, grow, contribute, and be recognized. Management transcends mere transactions; principles of resource allocation can guide personal happiness as well. Poor management of resources can lead to outcomes far from the intended strategy, a parallel that applies to life. Without a clear sense of purpose, individuals may waste time chasing short-term achievements rather than what truly matters. Additionally, focusing on marginal costs can result in poor decisions, as the temptation to justify small missteps often obscures the long-term consequences. The crucial task is to define your values and set boundaries that align with them, ensuring a life of integrity and fulfillment.
