...fear of Success" measure is not "loose" and "inexact." It was very carefully derived by comparing the thoughts of women who back off from competition with men as compared with the thoughts of those who do not. People who score high in these thoughts--whether men or women--seem to be afraid of asserting themselves or winning in competition for fear of the negative consequences that may follow from winning. In fact research has shown that women who fear success in this sense do not follow careers even though they may have ample opportunity to do so--such...
...freshmen, Radcliffe women are not particularly high in the fear of success, but they score significantly higher as seniors. Apparently something happens here that makes them less self-confident than when they came in. The same trend does not occur at other schools where women decrease in fear of success from freshman to senior year. So there is something wrong about the climate at Harvard and Radcliffe...
This is why I thought the findings should be made public--to raise questions in everyone's mind about what aspects of this environment are increasing the fear of success in women, while at the same time decreasing it slightly in men at Harvard.

Eckstein, as president and founder of DRI, one of the largest economic forecasting operations in the world, is undoubtedly the emperor of the Harvard consulting network. What lies behind his success is the invention of a computer system which uses statistical analysis to predict economic outcomes.

Eckstein now teaches just Economics 10, "Principles of Economics," and a graduate course in economic theory...
Though no one has yet matched Eckstein's success, by any other standards Harvard professors are doing remarkably well. The average Business School professor does about 20 days a year in outside work, Walter J. Salmon Jr. '30, associate dean for educational affairs at the Business School says. Business School professors earn a salary of about $100 an hour--about that of a top lawyer in a large firm," Salmon said. This means, Salmon adds, that the average Harvard Business School professor earns about $10,000 a year from outside work...
