Stuart School of Business Book Award Program
Stuart's Center of Sustainable Enterprise (CSE), founded in late 2000, has a mission to realign stakeholders in business and community with endeavors that manage all forms of their capital — Natural, Human, Physical and Financial — resulting in consistent beneficial return on investment. The center is engaged in the research of a unique prototype wind turbine in Chicago, and the only one of its kind in the world. Research also includes projects for SMEs to reduce their carbon footprint, Life-Cycle-Analyses for a company's new product, developing the next generation product for carbon emission reduction, and a remote lighting system operating totally off the grid.
We are pleased to announce the Stuart School of Business Book Award Program for the 2009-10 academic year. Information about this program has been included in this letter (PDF) mailed to business teachers.
This year, the faculty of the Stuart School of Business has selected Five Minds of the Future by Howard Gardner, recently recommended by the Harvard Business Review Magazine:
In a time of relentless change, there's only one thing that's certain: new challenges 
and opportunities will emerge that are virtually unimaginable today. How can we know which skills will be required to succeed?
In Five Minds for the Future, bestselling author Howard Gardner shows how we will each need to master the "five minds" that the fast-paced future will demand — from minds able to synthesize an communicate complex ideas to minds that can respect human differences and fulfill the higher responsibilities of work life and citizenship. Otherwise, we risk being overwhelmed by information unable to succeed in the workplaces, and without the judgment needed to thrive both personally and professionally.
Complete with a substantial new introduction, Five Minds for the Future provides valuable tools for those who are looking ahead to the next generation of leaders — and for each one of us who is striving to excel in our increasingly complex world.
