Available Copies Details Synopsis
BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY: GENERAL. The story of a Microsoft executive who walked away from millions to bring books and schools to children around the developing world. Wood chronicles his fateful decision to leave Microsoft, the start-up years, and the methods he uses to manage the organization with "the efficiency of General Electric and the compassion of Mother Theresa." Shining a spotlight on dozens of everyday heroes and offering specific lessons for social entrepreneurs, Wood's story is an uncommon and instructive life primer, and an inspiration on how to make big decisions and big changes in the world. It inspires the realization that within each of us lies the capacity to create meaningful change and, most important, show readers how they can be part of this -- or hundreds of other -- causes, and rediscover what to do with our lives.
