Larry makes a good point to pick a cause that is near and dear to your heart. If you have a great passion for the cause you are helping, that will not only motivate you and your employees but will give you a greater sense of purpose. What a nice feeling it would be to be able to give back to your community in a selfless way. This interview provides some really great insight on implementing giving programs.

But what do you think is the best thing to do that can relay to the employees how important moral values is?
