Amy Chua – Triple Package: What Really Determines Success – Nordic Business Forum

Amy Chua, professor at the Yale Law School and author, shares her discoveries on what generates drive in individuals, groups, and businesses. She also points out three qualities (‘the triple package’) that can lead to success. Key points: • Triple package = superiority complex + sense of insecurity + impulse control. • Some forms of superiority – for example, if rooted in work ethics, good morals, or self-control – can have a positive impact on a person’s life. • People who are simultaneously superior and insecure are often driven to work harder to get recognition and respect. • Success requires the ability to keep fighting after most people would have quit, and to fight with the will to win. • The triple package can also be applied in company cultures and strategies. Questions to consider: • Does your company’s mission instill a sense of exceptionalism in your employees? • Does your company have an atmosphere of constant learning and striving for better? • Does your company invest in the future by taking risks, failing, and trying again?
