Someone in a community I belong to recently said, "Why should teachers change? We are asking them to work harder, do things in a new way, unlearn the old ways of doing things, and when they do all that we have asked we do what? Tell them thanks? I know we don't give them more money. Maybe if t...
Graham thanks so much for stopping by and adding to the discussion. I am
thrilled to hear you enjoyed your Expert (now Experienced) Voice role with
PLP. We will call on you again if that is ok. Leading community takes a lot
of work and time. What people see happening is only a fraction of the time
you spend nurturing and developing capacity in your members. The best advice
I can give is do not go it alone. Get lots of volunteers to help you and
don't be afraid to let the design and direction of the community go
somewhere other than what you had planned. Loose governerance and shared
ownership is the answer. Remember community is about a collective identity,
which means lots of folks need to be part of the leadership.
I wish you the best of luck with your community. Let me know if I can help.
