Driven : How Human Nature Shapes Our Choices

by Paul R. Lawrence
Driven : How Human Nature Shapes Our Choices - Thryft
Driven : How Human Nature Shapes Our Choices - Thryft

Understanding human behavior through emotional drives.

This book is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand human behavior in the workplace. Lawrence and Nohria bring together ideas from different fields and provide a new theory of unified synthesis of human nature. The book examines the four emotive drives that guide human behavior: the drives to acquire, bond, learn, and defend. It will help readers understand how these drives shape our choices and influence our behavior, allowing them to improve their interactions with others in any professional setting. Lawrence and Nohria's work is based on solid research and provides a fascinating insight into human nature.

Description

A touchstone for understanding how we behave on the job"This is a stimulating and provocative book in bringing together important ideas from different fields, and, thereby, giving us a whole new slant on 'human nature.'" --Edgar H. Schein, Sloan Fellows Professor of Management Emeritus and Senior Lecturer, MITIn this astonishing, provocative, and solidly researched book, two Harvard Business School professors synthesize 200 years of thought along with the latest research drawn from the biological and social sciences to propose a new theory, a unified synthesis of human nature. Paul Lawrence and Nitin Nohria have studied the way people behave in that most fascinating arena of human behavior-the workplace-and from their work they produce a book that examines the four separate and distinct emotive drives that guide human behavior and influence the choices people make: the drives to acquire, bond, learn, and defend. They ultimately show that, just as advances in information technology have spurred the New Economy in the last quarter of the twentieth century, current advances in biology will be the key to understanding humans and organizations in the new millennium.
