Rewards of Community Service
Research from Harvard Business School suggests that most USA executives make volunteering an integral part of their lives. Community service is not only personally rewarding, but also helpful in practicing business skills and networking.
James E. Austin, a professor with Harvard Business School since 1972, offers some guidelines to help executives make the most of their experiences:
- Choose wisely
- Don't overload
- Lead with your head, not your heart
- Manage your involvement as a portfolio
Extending leadership into the social sector can help not only feed your soul, but help your career. To learn more about community service options, visit the
