What makes a community work?

Work out your purpose

Participate

Set goals

Be patient. And how! We seem to know that patience and persistence are important and yet so many folk feel disappointed when things don’t click and work – straight away.

Don’t meddle. I like this. There’s a world of difference between participating and meddling. Most work fails because managers don’t know when to get out of the way and let folks get on with it. Could the same be said for communities?
