More Than Money: Questions Every Mba Needs to AnswerMore Than Money asks one question in many ways, using questions and stories to reframe your career decisions for life's essential purpose: What will your contribution be? The answer will tell you how you will be remembered, how future generations will think of you when they look at your ancestral tree, and when your eulogy is read, whether or not you'd be proud of what is said....More Than Money is meant to complement a business school education. Whereas a rapidly growing number of schools now have courses in sustainable development, microfinance, corporate social responsibility, and social enterprise, few have material to help you develop a sustainable career. The book is written so that whether you are considering business school, entering business school, a current student, or a graduate, it should speak directly to you. I know. I've sat in your seat. ---PREFACE |
