Weaving together lessons and original stories from the world's top contributors to human rights and social involvement, this book leaders readers to a greater understanding of how we grow and develop as human beings by helping others. Cutting-edge research on the nature of personal and social change illuminates the Me to we philosophy. We can all build a better life - and an ideal world - by reaching out to others. Me to We is a manifesto and a manual. It includes tales to inspire, studies and statistics to persuade, and practical advice to motivate and guide. Craig and Marc Kielburger have written from their own experiences as advocates and global social leaders, as have supporters suc as Oprah Winfrey, Richard Gere, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and Dr. Jane Goodall. These dynamic stories teach us how to live our lives as socially conscious and responsible people, engage in daily acts of kindness, building meaningful relationships through community, and focus on the impact of "we" decision making. Both modern in its fresh way of looking at the world and traditional in its return to the simplest, purest, and most basic impulse of humanity, Me to We represents a vibrant shift, a remaking from the inside out, and a new definition of success, happiness, and community. --Back cover

Knížku Tak to dělá Virgin, která je primárně o vedení lidí, napsal autor, který otevřeně přiznává, že nikdy v životě nečetl žádnou knihu o leadershipu. Přesto vám tento úspěšný podnikatel umožní nahlédnout pod pokličku jeho jedinečného stylu řízení lidí. Dozvíte se jak zábava, rodina, vášeň pro věc či umění naslouchat utvářejí to, co Bransonovi lidé se šibalským mrknutím označují jako „styl Virgin“. Bransonova kniha o vedení lidí nepřináší žádné zaručené návody a pravdy. Je v ní pouze a jen popsána autorova zkušenost, to jak věci dělá, co mu dobře funguje a čemu je lepší se vyhnout.
