Many of the challenges facing our communities, sometimes large scale and multi-generational, may not be all that unique from community-to-community… What can be unique, however, is whether and how leaders within a community connect with each other in order to address these challenges constructively and in a community-life-improving manner.
Why? Because while all places have geographic boundaries that delineate them, some lack the “sense of community” that can truly define them.
A sense of community is less about the place than it is about the people. It is the level of connectedness people feel among each other as a result of shared values, interests, and goals. Whether we’re talking about an organization or community, helping people truly connect with each other is essential for such groupings to reach their potential. This connectedness is what inspires people to work together for a better future.
