Description of Driven: How Human Nature Shapes Our Choices by Paul R. Lawrence PDF

“Driven: How Human Nature Shapes Our Choices 1^st Edition” is the 4-drive approach to understand human behavior. Paul R. Lawrence and Nitin Nohria are the authors of this book. Harvard Business School professors Lawrence and Nohria present a sociobiological theory of motivation directed to the business environment. They claim that humans possess four basic drives to acquire, to bond, to learn, and to defend. The unique approach in their book is the manner in which they apply their theory specifically to the workplace. Historical case studies are used to show that successful organizations are those that give their employees opportunities to fulfill all four of these drives. There are of course a number of competing drive theories from Freud’s sexual drive to Steven Reiss’s 16-drive theory.

The authors, well versed in sociobiology, openly acknowledge that the numbers and exact nature of our drives need further exploration and provide suggestions for research projects. Irregardless of how many more drives one human may or may not possess their theory is enlightening for any reader. While being academic in its approach and presentation it is written with the lay reader in mind so any undergraduate will comfortably assimilate the information provided. This is ideal for any business leader that would like to better understand what not only drives them but also those around them.
