(Madison WI) What does it mean to be an Agent? Not a Secret Agent like Bond, James Bond. Not like a Free Agent, like most Gen Xers. Sociologists describe “Agency” as the impact individuals have on society when they act on their ideas and desires. It means putting your time, talent, and treasure in what you believe matters.
It’s Anita Sharpe believing that companies can do well and do right and starting a magazine to tell their stories (Worthwhile Magazine). It’s New Belgium Brewing Company making every employee a stakeholder and accountable for tasting the beer. It’s running a financial services company without walls.
What do you stand for? Are you an agent for your ideas and desires?
