Description: "In a time when companies are outsourcing abroad, Habitat International, a Tennessee-based carpet manufacturer, has managed to achieve productivity several times greater than the majority of its competitors with an American workforce most of us would never even consider: the disabled." "This true story of David Morris, rebel-with-a-cause businessman, and his employees is a revealing account of extraordinary success achieved through taking risks to unlock the potential in each of us. It is a must-read for companies looking to revitalizse their workforces and for anyone who wants to understand the importance of work, not just to the disabled community, but to each and every one of us."--book jacket.
