I'm about 1/2 way through a book recommended to me. I've been so
impressed by the concepts and words in this book I put a paragraph on
my homepage. It's called 'ATLAS SHRUGGED' by Ayn Rand.

I'm not going to try to expand upon any of the concepts presented,
except to emphasize it puts a lot of emphasis on individual
responsibility and ability to build organizations with purpose.

Without a solid driving force, without a purpose, without a vision
organizations become 'evil' - they start drifing into a money
making/profit oriented organization, with little heart. They can
survive for a little while, but not for long.

I'd like to hear others viewpoint on this book.
