“If you haven’t got any charity in your heart, you have the worst kind of heart trouble,” said Bob Hope, a British-American comedian, vaudevillian, actor, singer, dancer, and author.
Well, money, recognition, or success can’t really satisfy the deepest human need like philanthropy. Undoubtedly, the most entertaining and enlightening experience is returning to the community and seeing the results of your philanthropic efforts manifest. On a very basic level, philanthropy makes people happier.
Successful entrepreneurs are rewarded for their ability to deliver what society wants. Charity acts are carried out without the expectation of immediate financial gain, but certainly not without their own gifts.
Here are some key points to coming back as a leader:
Build respect and reputation in the community:
Business leaders can identify community needs or ask leading local organizations what they need help with and make targeted efforts to make a contribution. Relationships between customers and community leaders can be of great benefit to the company in the future. When a company helps others, that person tends to want to support the company in return. Building a reserve of goodwill in your community means there will be people who will support you and speak on your behalf in the future.
Make your community a better place to live:
Giving back improves a company’s image in the eyes of community members and leads to better lives and jobs for the company, its employees, and the people who already live there. By rehabilitating local parks or by donating schools, employees’ children find better, safer places to learn and play. Donations from local nature parks offer everyone a relaxing and enjoyable area for camping or hiking.
Employees respect superiors who do good:
It’s a shame how few startup founders and other business owners actually have anything to do with employee happiness. Many team leaders go about their daily moves without thinking about how to improve employee cohesion or job satisfaction in general. When you work for a company that gives back to the community, it can fix this problem. Making your company a positive force in society can improve employee attitudes toward their company’s leaders, which can only help. Other than that, it’s just a nice feeling and can motivate you to work there. Daily work is difficult. Employees will value all the motivation they receive. Good morale is essential to running a successful business and it is one of the best ways to support it.
Connection and network:
Charities are often one of the most influential people in the world. Joining these organizations leads to contact with these people. For an entrepreneur or entrepreneur, these connections are an invaluable resource. The people you know determine what you do and what opportunities you can take advantage of. People in these organizations tend to develop mutual trust and respect for one another, which is a key factor in running a business.
