Sample Book Insights: #1 A community is a group of people who share a mutual concern for each other’s welfare. It is distinct from a group of people who may share ideas, interests, or proximity, but lack concern for one another. #2 A leader can help a community develop and grow by understanding how groups develop and express their values. Shared values are what attract us to a group in the first place. #3 The values of a community are expressed in actions and words. They are revealed by what members say to one another, whom they welcome, what they share, and with whom and where they spend their money. #4 Formalization can destroy a community if values are ignored. When efforts arise to formalize or corporatize a community, there’s often understandable concern that the effort could destroy the very community it seeks to grow.
