Product Description:

Even the actions of a single person can help to change the world. How? Through simple acts of leadership and compassion. Open up this book, and discover the true stories of people whose actions have caused a chain reaction at work and in their communities. Among them:
A manager who gives an employee some supportive praise, and as a result literally saves his life (page 231).

A small group of bank tellers who spearhead a movement to raise millions of dollars for breast cancer, making it the biggest fundraiser in North America, and enhancing their company’s reputation (page 213).

A sales manager who gets a copy of a groundbreaking book that leads to a transformation of the company’s operations. As a result, hundreds of millions of pounds of carpet waste avoid the landfill, and the company sparks a revolution in its industry (page 12).

A “responsibility revolution” is shaking up corporate America. In this provocative and insightful book, bestselling author Tim Sanders reveals why companies must to go beyond making a profit and start making a difference.

Every one of us, regardless of title or position, can inspire our companies to change the way they do business, helping them to become a positive force for enriching people, communities, and the environment. When this happens, not only do we help save the world, we help save our companies from becoming irrelevant. We also become part of what Sanders calls the Responsibility Revolution.

Companies that don’t participate in this revolution risk becoming obsolete. Today customers, employees, and investors are demanding that companies focus on their social responsibilities—not just their bottom lines. Sixty-five percent of American consumers say they would change to brands associated with a good cause if price and quality were equal; 66 percent of recent college graduates will not work for companies with poor social values. And more than sixty million people are willing to pay a premium for socially and environmentally responsible products.

In SAVING THE WORLD AT WORK, Tim Sanders offers concrete suggestions on how all of us can help our companies join the Responsibility Revolution. Drawing on extensive interviews with hundreds of employees and CEOs, and illuminated by countless stories of people who are making a difference in the workplace and in the world, Sanders offers practical advice every individual and company can use to make the world a better place--now and in the future.

5 stars Now I'm a Believer
I wasn't really into the "green revolution" a few weeks ago. I'm an officer in the Navy and for the past 8 years I haven't exactly been surrounded by liberal-thinking environmentalists.

I read this book because I'm a believer in Tim Sanders, and he has made a believer out of me.

This isn't just a book for environmentalists to rally around, it's absolutely essential for anyone who wants to thrive in today's market and become a part of the "responsibility revolution". In a nutshell, this book will tell you how to identify the causes of wastefulness at work and inspire you to change them.

In 5 years you may not have to read this book because there will be hundreds of others touching on the same subject. What Tim has captured is truly forward-thinking, and time will prove that we can't ignore what he's saying.

Buy a copy, get inspired, then go out and make a difference.


5 stars You can't afford to ignore the responsibility revolution
I loved Tim's first two books, Love is the Killer App and The Likeability Factor. These books discussed how we can impact the people around us for the better. I also have had the pleasure of seeing Tim speak, and hired him to keynote for the professional society I direct. I have been eagerly awaiting this new book because Tim's message is always clear, powerful and captivating.

Saving the World at Work further captures the energy and commitment of Tim Sanders, and his quest to make our world a better place. Many of us want to take steps to save this world, but have only taken baby steps to do so. Tim helps us understand how to become fully committed to saving the world, explaining how dramatically we can affect it by changing the way we do business.

This is not just another book about how to go green, but rather a tale of how we can have healthier bottom lines and more successful businesses by taking care of the environment, employees and the surrounding community.

Tim will change the way you think about saving the planet and help you understand how you can indeed make a difference as an individual.


5 stars Prophet of Postmodern Corporate Values
Every age has its prophets who observe the movement of social, political and economic forces then project what the future might hold. Tim Sanders' new book, Saving the World at Work, represents the projections of a knowledgeable and thoughtful prognosticator. Sanders has observed the effect of recent events on the psyche of individuals. Events such as September 11, CEO scandals, and the environmental crisis are traumas that have shocked most individuals into re-examining the values they once embraced. Although the recent financial and economic shocks came post-publication, they bolster Sanders' case.

In his book, Sanders identifies this change -- this new set of values being adopted -- as a social responsibility revolution. He sees the social responsibility revolution as people caring for more than profit alone. They care for employees, the community and the environment.

He also describes how he sees the social responsibility revolution evolving. The true believers, or "Saver Soldiers" as Sanders calls them, are the change agents of this move to look beyond the bottom line. He articulates how you can become a Saver Soldier through assessing your realm of influence and then executing the long list of recommended actions that he lays out near the end of the book.

I highly recommend reading this book. We live in a period of dramatic upheaval. The mindset and values of Modernity are giving way to a Postmodern perspective. "Saving the World at Work" helps clarify what many people feel. It also describes a likely scenario for the future that everyone will benefit from knowing about and helping bring to fruition.

5 stars If not now, when? If not you, then who?
Urgent. Urgency. There's an underlying question that drives Saving the World at Work by Tim Sanders: "If not now, when?" The human race is destroying its' habitat at a break-neck pace even though the technology and know-how exist to ameliorate the damage. Sanders describes how one individual can influence a corporation or a community to take on the challenge of The Responsibility Revolution then nails the punch line in his last chapter: "If Not You, Then Who?" Read this book. Do it now.


5 stars Sustainability & Responsibility Will Save This World
Tim Sanders is a very conversational writer. I have read his previous book, Love is the Killer App. Tim does a wonderful job of asking people to examine their inner strengths and personalities and then he provides suggestions to make us better people. In his new book, Tim discusses the "green" movement, which is at the forefront of corporate and personal agendas. If you are not thinking about this, then you should because it will be your competitive advantage. Tim has made me think about how I could do more at home and in the workplace. I recommend this book and Tim's other books as well.
