• a CEO successfully negotiates a corporate merger, avoiding hundreds of layoffs in the process
• an artist completes a mosaic for public display at a bank, showcasing neighborhood heroes
• a contractor creates a work-release program in cooperation with a local prison, growing the business and seeing countless former inmates turn their lives around
• a high-school principal graduates 20 percent more students than the previous year, and the school's average scores go up by a similar percentage

Now imagine a parade in the streets for each...
