This is a page on a particular genre of
TurnAroundToSelfManagement
, and inspired by actions of a well-known
ChiefArchitect
, who announced in June06 he is Shifting
Gears to leave
MicroSoft
to focus on saving the world.
Are there much others like him? Influential, famous and rich people who voluntarily decide to turn their energy to
HigherPrinciples
before they get close to being summoned by their maker.
Certainly, this is a very valuable form of
LeaderShip
.
Below are a list of people who TurnedGoodAtTheE
nd, and having a real impact.

http://www3.sympatico.ca/truegrowth/gates1.html
Some of the charity work is much needed but not newsworthy; see

.
Others crossing the barrier
FromSuccessToSignificance
It appears at least a former President, and a former Vice President of the US have undertaken significant causes after the completion of their political career.
There may be better examples elsewhere.
