Do Good by Being an "Intrapreneur" at Work

Good.is
It’s easier to do good on the job when the organization you work with is set on changing business for the better. But what if your place of work doesn’t embrace the difference between blue and brown waste bins or isn't concerned with working conditions in the factory where your widgets are manufactured? You might be biting your tongue until you get promoted to a position of authority to start cleaning up your company’s act, but why wait? Net Impact, an international network of professionals committed to using their business savvy for good, is debunking that myth. The fact is, the most influential seat can be your very own office chair. Net Impact’s Jennifer Chin breaks down how you can start your own social "intrapreneurship" to start positive initiatives.
