“I think that all moralities adequately serving the function of fostering social cooperation must contain a norm of reciprocity - a norm of returning good for good received. Such a norm is a necessity, I argue, because it helps relieve the strains on motivation of contributing to social cooperation when it comes into conflict with self-interest.” ThinkingHelpingMotivationMoralityConflictArguingCooperationNormReciprocity Author:David Wong
“The business schools could do a better job teaching face-to-face management, the actual work of organizing and helping along the efforts of others in the organization. The more quantitative disciplines have gotten more attention, often more research dollars. Areas like organizational science or, even mushier, leadership have had more trouble settling on what it's important to teach, and how. It's rather like strategy itself, which as I argue in the book, has had trouble through most of its history figuring out how to incorporate people, their motivation and ability, into its calculations.” PeopleImportantBookHelpingSchoolMotivationAbilityEffortAttentionTeachTroubleTeachingDisciplineManagementStrategyArguingSettlingOrganizational Author:Walter Kiechel
