Creating community on the job

Posted by Ann Deaton Share Your Voice

If you could enable everyone around you to bring their best each day, would you do it? Most of us would say "YES!" and we might still be unsure of how to do so. Peter Block's recent book Community: The Structure for Belonging has an unusual section at the end of the book about role models and resources for creating communities where each person brings their best. Some examples:

Geralynn & Tom Sparough, who have figured out how to bring the intimate connections of a family into a larger community

Paul Uhlig, an expert on creating a true sense of caring in hospitals

Christopher Alexander, teach ordinary people how to build and rebuild communities

Ann Deaton I am a leadership coach, and Managing Partner in Bounce. I love to coach and facilitate with individuals and systems experiencing significant change and growth. The clients I work with, regardless of their age or position, are talented and creative individuals willing to look with fresh eyes at their challenges and opportunities, and to take action based on their discoveries. As a result, they find that they are capable of accomplishing far greater things than they ever imagined. What do you want to accomplish today? Who do you want to be?
