“Work connects us to other people…every human interaction offers you the chance to make things better or to make things worse. … No work is too small to play a part in the work of creation. At the Cirque du Soleil, the person who replaces the lightbulbs is vitally important to the high-wire artist, who must see where to put her foot. At the Ford plant, the person in charge of left front tire bolts is vitally important to the mother who drives her children to school each day. Since this connection is not always apparent, it calls for a little extra effort. Any worker with a good imagination should be able to come up with hundreds of people whom his or her work affects.” (pages 114-115)
