I can't stand those people, speakers in a room, they say this all the time, If I can just help one person in this room, I've done my job.

We are drawn to leaders and organizations that are good at communicating what they believe. Their ability to make us feel like we belong, to make us feel special, safe and not alone is part of what gives them the ability to inspire us.
