Certain organizations have the capacity to transform themselves, if the leader who is in charge, has the vision and the will for it.It's not very often that short-term profitability and a selfish mindset is kept aside for the greater good.

The Conscience of an Organization

A leader with clarity of conscience and a readiness to speak up can make a difference, and contribute to the greater good of humanity.Cultural change can be made possible even if a middle-level or lower-level manager puts together a radical vision and gathers momentum from his peers.

The Power of One

Normally, these though may appear in a leader's mind:<ul><li>This work is going to take months maybe years, so it's better to postpone it for a later time.</li><li>This plan, though helpful for a lot of people, will be potentially dangerous for my career.</li><li>It is not worth all the trouble and convincing others.</li></ul>The real challenge is to get past these mind traps before the problem starts to appear ordinary.

Sustained Focus
