Summary: De Pree holds up nonprofits as mirrors of our greatest aspirations - places where people work for the opportunity to contribute to the common good and for the chance to realize their full human potential. He calls such organizations "movements" and challenges others to follow their example. Movements, De Pree maintains, transcend "the deceptive simplicity of a single bottom line" and set standards for leadership and service all organizations should reach for. They lead not with the power of the paycheck or with bureaucratic carrots-and-sticks but with the promise of meaningful work and lives fulfilled. For that reason, nonprofit or otherwise, they are the most successful organizations of all
