Ripple Effects

One of my precious friends has opted to leave a toxic, but lucrative environment for a less financially rewarding, yet soul rewarding culture.  She's an amazing individual who will thrive in any organization.

Though she didn't intend to change her former company culture with her announcement, it appears that she has started the much needed corporate discussion. Her departure has prompted others to question what positive changes they must enact to retain talent of my friend's caliber.  The ripple effect of her announcement has prompted others to question if they are settling for the way things are rather than the way they should be.  Bluntly, one of her ripple colleagues questioned if she and her colleagues had been part of the culture for so long that they had become "abused wives". 

When we do what we know is right we never know how many others we may positively impact.
