Everyone talks about building community. What’s interesting is what does and doesn’t build community. Our experience is that we build community any time we engage each other in conversations about dreams, small acts, gifts, and invitations (see the Intentional Model for more details). We prevent community any time we engage each other in shadow conversations about grievances, consensus, deficiencies, and blame.
In this sense, building community happens in the process of how things happen. So does the building of a new business, school, program, or event build community? It depends on the kinds of conversations we have in the process.
