Assignment task: Getting Started
HuffPost contributors Frank Islam and Ed Crego (2014) state,
The virtuous organization is built from the business leader, out. Her or his vision and values shape and define the company's culture. If those values include concern, caring, compassion and commitment to making a positive difference and contribution to society-they are reflected in everything that the business does-from the manner in which it operates, treats employees and customers, to its community involvement and philanthropic initiatives. Think of it this way, the business leader is the person who drops the rocks in the pond, and as the circles ripple out, they reflect his or her image and likeness. (para. 15)
