Description

Even the actions of a single person can help to change the world. How? Through simple acts of leadership and compassion. Open up this book, and discover the true stories of people whose actions have caused a chain reaction at work and in their communities. Among them is a manager who gives an employee some supportive praise, and as a result literally saves his life. A small group of bank tellers who spearhead a movement to raise millions of dollars for breast cancer, making it the biggest fundraiser in North America, and enhancing their company’s reputation. A sales manager who gets a copy of a groundbreaking book that leads to a transformation of the company’s operations.
