"Good to Great" by James Collins

“When [what you are deeply passionate about, what you can be best in the world at and what drives your economic engine] come together, not only does your work move toward greatness, but so does your life. For, in the end, it is impossible to have a great life unless it is a meaningful life. And it is very difficult to have a meaningful life without meaningful work. Perhaps, then, you might gain that rare tranquility that comes from knowing that you’ve had a hand in creating something of intrinsic excellence that makes a contribution. Indeed, you might even gain that deepest of all satisfactions: knowing that your short time here on this earth has been well spent, and that it mattered.” 

― James C. Collins, Good to Great

This inspirational quote is a great reminder that the meaning behind what one does both personally and within an organization is a major driver of motivation beyond the dollars and cents. Often, what drives organizations to be great is a joint effort towards daily finding meaning and satisfaction in the accomplishments both big and small.
