“Sue has truly built something special with #faithforce at Salesforce. Driven by her faith and leadership style, she has been able to develop an inclusive and dynamic platform for professionals from different backgrounds to come together and explore, inspire, and celebrate how spiritually impacts their lives on a day to day level. Through her generous, curious, and compassionate persona, Sue brings harmony to faith force members by no longer making them feel that they have to compartmentalize their professional life or turn off their faith when they enter work. She's helping people bring their whole selves to work, and this is priceless not only for faith-force members but the entire Salesforce organization. It's truly inspiring meeting and working with Sue - and I can't wait to see where her life adventure takes her!”

From the Wiseman Group:
"When the technical documentation team at Salesforce.com wanted to reignite rookie smarts on their team, they conducted the “Borrow a Job” experiment (found on page 95 of Rookie Smarts). Sue Warnke, the director of documentation tools, swapped jobs with Jean-Paul Connock, a technical writer on her staff for a day. Not only did each gain a deeper understanding of the other’s challenge, they were each able to solve a critical problem that would have otherwise taken months to resolve. The simple practice of a one-day job swap helps companies like Salesforce churn up new insights, solve problems, and keep their teams fresh.
Marc Benioff, chairman and CEO of Salesforce.com, said, 'As a company grows, nothing is more important than retaining a culture of innovation. With Rookie Smarts, even a big company can take risks, innovate and operate with the speed and drive of a challenger.'"
