Harvard Business School on Meaningful Work
Do you find your work meaningful? The Harvard Business School Alumni Bulletin for December 2007 on pages 34-35, had an article on "How Business Schools Lost their Way." HBS associate professor Rakesh Khurana has written a book that points out problems including, "…business schools on average are not providing some way for them (students) to link the values they have to the work they are going to be doing. And as a consequence, many students have adopted a view of the world in which they believe they cannot live their values through their work." … "By denying students the opportunity to see the possibility of living their life as a profession, seeing meaning in their work, seeing their work as a calling.…"
What do you think? Can MBA graduates find meaning or are they destined to be just hired hands for corporations? Whether you are an MBA or not, I wonder if you see your work as a calling?
How do we find meaning in our work? Of course, there are many ways. My own twin degrees, a MBA from HBS and a M.Div. from Yale represent part of my efforts to integrate achievement with meaning, success with significance.
I have for decades assisted leaders and professionals to find meaning in their work. In my approach, your first step in finding meaning is to look deeply inside yourself to gain clarity on what you really value. Then develop strategies to make your values more honored in your work. I assist clients to take these steps in my individual Executive Coaching and in some modules of my Group Executive Coaching described on my web site.

![]() Ahead of the Curve: Two Years at Harvard Business School List Price: Sale Price: $10.38 You save: $15.57 (60%) Eligible for free shipping!Availability: Usually ships in 24 hours See Reviews For This Product DescriptionAs One L did for Harvard Law School, Ahead of the Curve does for Harvard Business School—providing an incisive student’s-eye view that pulls the veil away from this vaunted institution and probes the methods it uses to make its students into the elite of the business worldIn the century since its founding, Harvard Business School has become the single most influential institution in global business. Twenty percent of the CEOs of Fortune 500 companies are HBS graduates, as are many of our savviest entrepreneurs (e.g., Michael Bloomberg) and canniest felons (e.g., Jeffrey Skilling). The top investment banks and brokerage houses routinely send their brightest young stars to HBS to groom them for future power. To these people and many others, a Harvard MBA is a golden ticket to the Olympian heights of American business. In 2004, Philip Delves Broughton abandoned a post as Paris bureau chief of the London Daily Telegraph to join nine hundred other would-be tycoons on HBS’s plush campus. Over the next two years, he and his classmates would be inundated with the best—and the rest—of American business culture that HBS epitomizes. The core of the school’s curriculum is the “case”—an analysis of a real business situation from which the students must, with a professor’s guidance, tease lessons. Delves Broughton studied more than five hundred cases and recounts the most revelatory ones here. He also learns the surprising pleasures of accounting, the allure of “beta,” the ingenious chicanery of leveraging, and innumerable other hidden workings of the business world, all of which he limns with a wry clarity reminiscent of Liar’s Poker. He also exposes the less savory trappings of b-school culture, from the “booze luge” to the pandemic obsession with PowerPoint to the specter of depression that stalks too many overburdened students. With acute and often uproarious candor, he assesses the school’s success at teaching the traits it extols as most important in business—leadership, decisiveness, ethical behavior, work/life balance. Published during the one hundredth anniversary of Harvard Business School, Ahead of the Curve offers a richly detailed and revealing you-are-there account of the institution that has, for good or ill, made American business what it is today. |
