Higher Ambition

Organizations must choose between people and profits, right? Wrong, argue the authors of higher ambition. In fact, as global competition stiffens and enterprises face increasing public scrutiny, successful leaders must win on all fronts with their people, their customers, their communities, and their shareholders.

Higher Ambition takes you inside the minds of some of the most successful and insightful leaders of our time, the CEOs from companies as diverse as Standard Chartered Bank, Infosys, Nokia, Cummins, Ikea, Tata, and Campbells Soup. The authors reveal how these leaders from around the world are converging on a new management paradigm that unlocks the energy and potential of their people to deliver superior economic and social value.
