I had the opportunity to hear Jan Blittersdorf, CEO of NRG Systems, speak at a recent Winning Workplaces conference honoring this year’s Top Small Workplaces (a joint effort between Winning Workplaces and the Wall Street Journal).

Small, successful workplaces can be tremendous examples of what’s possible — and the impact of consistently improving on a theme through innovative thinking. In NRG’s case, an example is how they live the value of “environmental stewardship.”

Read the interview with Jan Blittersdorf from a recent issue of Wind Energy News and watch this piece produced by Seven Days. You’ll begin to get a sense of the inspiration that can be found in such organizations.
