The real development I've seen of people in organizations, especially in big ones, comes from their being volunteers in a nonprofit organization - where you have responsibility, you see results, and you quickly learn what your values are.

That is probably the great opportunity for the social sector - and especially in its relationship to business.

I worked in 40 restaurants over a five-year period.

Charlie Trotter

If it wasn't for KISS, there would be no Guns N' Roses. Bands like that made Guns N' Roses. We were five guys with five personalities and five different influences. The stars were aligned for us.
