2 Stories, Quotes, or Case-Studies for this week
1. Understanding People
In the year 322 BC, Kautilya (a.k.a. Chanakya) wrote his famous work, ‘Chanakya Neeti’, which roughly translates to ‘Chanakya’s Ethics’. This brilliant teacher was also responsible for setting up the mighty Mauryan Empire. In one of his teachings on understanding other people, he writes, “Test an employee while in the discharge of his duty, a relative during difficulty, a friend in adversity, and the spouse… during misfortune.”
2. John’s Crazy Socks
The story of this quirky business had the Work for Good team smiling for days, proving the success of their mission to provide “happiness through socks”.
The business was started by John Cronin and his father Mark. The business was inspired by John’s love of crazy socks’ and his father’s desire to help him build a place in a world in which many with Down’s Syndrome are excluded. In a little over a year, they have shipped more than 42,000 orders and brought in $1.7 million in revenue. For every sock sold, they donate 5% to the Special Olympics. It’s a great example of a successful start-up business which provides hope, inspiration and gives back.
