Ideas worth spreading

The Power of Cultivating Dignity

Megha Desai • TEDxColumbiaUniversity

When we refer to an entire industry as what it's not supposed to do – NONprofit – it comes as no surprise that there is confusion on how to measure its outcomes. Rather than using corporate outcomes to measure the transforming of lives, Megha Desai in this talk examines the power of cultivating dignity as an alternate metric.
