* competitive edge by reducing the work day and guaranteeing a minimum wage

* Branch Rickey's decision to offer Jackie Robinson a contract to play for the Brooklyn Dodgers in the face of public opposition

* Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf 's decision to return to war torn Liberia after receiving an economics degree from Harvard

* General Fred Weyand's decision to redeploy fifteen of his battalions despite resistance from senior American military commanders in Vietnam

* And much more
