James Champy and Nitin Nohria cautioned us not to assume that no one else on the premises can match our own ambition, competence, and vision. Uncertainty necessitates the need for finding more wisdom within our organizations. This can only be accomplished by creating a leadership mindset throughout the entire organization.

Numerous commentators have targeted culture and "soft" interpersonal issues as an important contributor of M&A success or failure. While many analyses of failed mergers and other collaborations blame cultural differences, it is possible to be even more specific.

This motto is vastly more ambitious than the previous one — to educate leaders who "make a decent profit — decently" — and ambition, as Nitin Nohria (now HBS's Dean) and James Champy wrote in The Arc of Ambition , is usually a valuable quality. Harvard Business School's mission is to "educate leaders who make a difference in the world."
