What drives the work of the world’s leading management thinkers?
That was the question posed at Thinkers50@BUQuestrom: Passion & Purpose, a live virtual event held at Boston University Questrom School of Business on 20th April 2023.
Co-sponsored by Thinkers50, Passion & Purpose sought to uncover the motivation behind top management thinkers: What inspires their research? What gets them out of bed in the morning? How do they translate their passions into purpose and impact for business?
To challenge the thinkers a little further, each one had just 15 minutes to deliver their idea – including questions from the audience.
With the first session featuring Thinkers50 #1 Ranked Thinker Amy Edmondson and her new work on the science of failing well, the second thinker to the stage was Ruth Gotian, recipient of the Thinkers50 2021 Radar Award.
She offered the flipside to failure with her work on success – in particular, extreme success. How do high achievers get to the pinnacles of their trade? What do they all have in common? Gotian identified four mindsets associated with extreme success: intrinsic motivation, perseverance, strong foundation, and lifelong learning. Watch the video to learn more.
