James March: Passion and Discipline

Push play to watch Passion and Discipline (1:08:38)

Prof. Emeritus James March takes his viewers on a journey over the plains of historic La Mancha to the high-tech companies of Silicon Valley and back in pursuit of characteristics that define a leader: imagination, commitment, and joy. He shows us that too firm a grip on reality and too much reliance on the logic of consequences can impede leadership. By not losing sight of who they are, what they value, and what they want to achieve, leaders affirm their commitment to the promise of something greater than what currently exists. As one of March's interviewees says, "Your dream is the promise of what you can become."
