Leave Your Mark



            tribute to their neighborhoods and important social causes,
            these leaders help employees realize their power to make a
            difference. Such a realization encourages us all to be what
            Mahatma Gandhi suggested we could be, namely, “The
            change we wish to see in the world.”




                        Create Your Own Experience
               • Can you find ways for you and your business to leave the
                 biggest, most powerful mark possible?

               • Will it be volunteerism, fund-raising, community grants,
                 or a more overarching commitment to examining the
                 impact of your business practices?

               • How do you think these efforts would benefit your
                                                                        173
                 community (added volunteer resources, completion of
                 projects that could not have occurred without your
                 company’s assistance, or some other way)?

               • In what ways might corporate social responsibility help
                 your business?

               • In what ways can you use community outreach to build
                 teams and increase employee engagement?

               • What are you waiting for?
