Harvard Business Review, December 2006

This month's issue includes three complete articles. From Forethought, Larry Winget offers managers some blunt advice in "Shut Up and Stop Whining". Then, in "Managing the Right Tension", Dominic Dodd and Ken Favaro offer some tips about how to make the most out of competing forces. In the third article, Sylvia Ann Hewlett and Carolyn Buck Luce look at the new breed of workaholics in "Extreme Jobs: The Dangerous Allure of the 70-Hour Workweek". Plus, you'll hear OnPoint summaries of two more articles: "Strategies to Fight Low-Cost Rivals" by Nirmalya Kumar and "Disruptive Innovation for Social Change" by Clayton M. Christensen, Heiner Baumann, Rudy Ruggles, and Thomas M. Sadtler. Finally, you'll get Executive Summaries for the five remaining articles.
