"There are a lot of negative things happening in the world and we are blitzed by them especially through the modern media giants like CNN. However, an organizational and spiritual awakening is currently taking place. More people in the new millennium are seeking deeper meaning in their work beyond financial rewards and prestige. The desire to make a difference, to support a worthwhile vision, and to leave the earth better than we found it all contribute to this new urge. At the same time, the sustainability movement is helping raise a new awareness of tremendous waste in our current ways of doing business. Perhaps, no greater waste exists than the loss of a true sense of community, human imagination and creativity, shared vision, and empowered teamwork found in many of our organizations---all of which ultimately undermine individual productivity and corporate performance."
