Our everyday cares, making a living, the crazy rat race of life, often make us forget the value of a good deed.

I find that when you lead with vision and values, engaging employees and showing them that values are just as important as profits, everyone comes on board. And not only do they come on board, but they connect to their own individual creativity.
