Inspiration: Quote of the Month

"Although men are accused of not knowing their own weakness, yet perhaps few know their own strength. It is in men as in soils, where sometimes there is a vein of gold which the owner knows not of."

- Jonathan Swift, Thoughts on Various Subjects

Good Business Manifesto

As a leadership and organization development practitioner, I could tell you one hundred different stories of people increasing productivity, getting their teams working better together, enhancing product or service quality, or increasing their revenue. Unfortunately, that's not the end to doing good business, it's only the beginning.

When we increase our capacity or productivity it should be in service of something greater than growing the bottom line. It should be in service of a better world.

Are leaders taking the opportunity of this particular time on our earth to engage their organizations in work that has meaning and purpose? It is my belief that the worlds best leaders are completely engaged in the question What is Good Business, and how can I contribute to it?
