Episode Description

What would your company – and the world – look like if you as a business leader or owner managed to help each employee recognize that his or her individual contribution made a meaningful difference to the world, every day? And you as a leader were focused on how to position your company or department to help solve some of the stickiest problems facing the globe today – and let your employees devote 10% of their time to these special projects? I’ll tell you: Each individual employee would go home at night knowing their one, precious life was being spent in service of worthy causes and give mightily of their talents to make the company succeed. A worthy aspiration for any company, I so applaud DSM’s model of the promise of enlightened business and enriching workplace.
