Tim Sanders (former Chief Solutions Officer at Yahoo!) spoke on the topic of taking your faith into the marketplace in his talk titled, “Saving The World At Work.”
His core message, as he dictated it to us was, “Tell your people to take their values to work!”
Here are a few thoughts from his talk:
If not you, then who? If not now, then when?
As an individual, I have virtually nothing; in community, however, we make a great stew!
“Good is the new great!” (The meaning behind this is that people want to work for companies that do good in their communities or the world. People will actually change jobs to companies that do good.
The Law of Interdependence - make people successful and the world comes to you!
The Law of Observed Reciprocity - also called “Contagious Compassion” - Leaders gauge reality and give their people hope (how appropriate in our current situation with the 100+ billion dollar bail out.
A single act of compassion can create a ripple of love. One person stepping out boldly to commit an act of compassion can create a ripple effect of compassion throughout a community - even the world!
