When we find ourselves stuck in unhappy careers, it is often the result of a fundamental misunderstanding of what truly motivates us, says Clayton Christensen, co-author of the new book "How Will You Measure Your Life?" Back in 1976, two economists, Michael Jensen and William Meckling, published a paper looking at why managers don’t always behave in a way that is in the best interest of shareholders. The root cause, as Jensen and Meckling saw it, is that people work in accordance with how you pay them

Five ways I was recently amazed by undergrads competing in a business plan competition at Texas Christian University. As I get older, I love to talk about how times have changed

The LinkedIn co-founder is lending $1 million to struggling entrepreneurs around the world and you can help decide who gets it. Want to lend money to a struggling entrepreneur in a developing nation without using any of your money? I did, and for a little while longer, you can too.

Great entrepreneurs succeed because they're willing to do every job, ask every dumb question, and--above all--admit they can't do it alone. Talent is God-given, be humble. Fame is man-given, be thankful.

A new movement fueled by college-aged entrepreneurs and the organizations that support them is just beginning to take off.

After a couple dozen successes, Howard Tullman is building Flashpoint Academy, which he calls the front seat of the world stage. From the moment he queues up a movie, boots his computer, and hits the treadmill at 4 a.m.—unfathomably refreshed after three hours' sleep—Tullman is a blur. By 8 a.m., having consumed several newspapers, watched half a film (he sees about 120 a year for professional reasons), and cleared his first 100 e-mails, he arrives at Tribeca Flashpoint Academy, the showplace digital-media-arts college he built one summer in Chicago while all the normal people were at the beach

Thiel Fellow Dale Stephens explains how "Does it scale?" applies to education. In Silicon Valley, one often hears the question, "Does it scale?"

Picture the scene: It's 2004, and Brian Chesky , the future cofounder and CEO of Airbnb , runs up on stage in full cap and gown to the pulsating bass line of Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean." Chesky's set to give the student commencement address at Rhode Island School of Design--but before reaching the mic, Chesky rips off his black robes, revealing a white tuxedo underneath, and starts dancing to the beat: moonwalking, crotch-grabbing, robotting.... Fast-forward a mere eight years, and rhythmically dubious Chesky's the chief executive of a company now valued at $1.3 billion . (His comical graduation speech is pretty much the opposite of Steve Jobs's Stanford address .) On second thought, don't imagine that dance number from yesteryear

Tim Cook is a very different chap to his predecessor, in many ways from his business know-how to his education and manner of speech . We got more insight into all of these during his address at Goldman Sachs yesterday--including a long spiel and a Q&A session that gave us many more public Cook words to analyze.

What the former Stanford professor-turned-independent educator teaches us about the new online power dynamic. Wars have been fought in pursuit of it.

There's no such thing as too much employee recognition.

An MBA can cost you upward of $100,000. Will the investment really to pay off?
