Welcome to episode #6 of Foreword Thinking - The Business and Motivational Book Review Podcast presented by HarperCollins Canada. John Wood, literally, left Microsoft to change the world. And while it is the title of his best-selling book, Leaving Microsoft to Change The World, it is just one of the many components of his hugely successful not-for-profit organization called, Room To Read. John and his volunteers are breaking the cycle of poverty by creating libraries and schools throughout rural and poor communities in Asia, Africa, and soon in Latin America. It's an inspiring story that I hope will get you thinking about what you can do to make a change in the world. I am also looking to do a SkypeCast on the changes that have occurred in the business world since Jim Collins released his powerful business book, Good To Great. If you would like to be a part of that show, please drop me a line.
