Leaders and observers from diverse perspectives are starting to discover the interrelatedness of their concerns. In Shared Purpose, ten cutting-edge thinkers make a striking proposal: If business wants a productive workforce, it must take a leadership role in solidifying our social web. Shared Purpose provides an insightful look into the complexities of this interconnectedness and supplies creative solutions, recommendations, and current examples of how businesses can begin constructing a useful "web." The book is the result of a year-long "conversation" among its contributing authors, who met regularly to exchange ideas and experiences.

Shared Purpose was created to share solutions and spark innovative ideas about how businesses, government, educational institutions, community groups, and individuals can rethink the scope and focus of their daily efforts to benefit all with whom they interact.
