Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

In 1998 John Wood was a rising executive at Microsoft . Then a trip
to Nepal inspired him to set up schools and libraries in the
developing world. Fuelled by the same drive that made him a top
executive, Wood took his business acumen into the charity sector
and created Room to Read, a stunningly effective organisation that
has created a network of more than 2,000 schools and libraries
throughout Asia and Africa in only six years. Leaving Microsoft to
Change the World chronicles John Wood's incredible journey, his
first years at Microsoft, his life-changing decision to leave, and
the adventure that followed. Wood shares the methods he uses to
manage Room to Read, taken from the boardroom of one of the world's
most influential companies and applied successfully in a very
different setting. His story is an inspirational example of how to
create success on your own terms and change your world. After
earning an MBA at the Kellogg School of Management, John Wood
joined Microsoft in 1991. He quickly ascended to become Microsoft's
director of business development in China and the surrounding
regions. In 1999, he founded Room to Read, a charity that promotes
literacy throughout the developing world. He lives in San
Francisco.
