YOU’RE FACING THIS CHALLENGE IF:
• You make all significant decisions about direction and policies • Community members have limited influence on development • Growth depends on your continued initiative and direction • Members feel like customers rather than stakeholders
THE BREAKTHROUGH PRINCIPLE:
Create structured pathways that gradually transfer increasing ownership from your organization to your community, building sustainable momentum that doesn’t depend on your pushing.
START RIGHT NOW:
- Identify one area where community members could have meaningful influence or decision authority
- Create a clear process for community input or decision-making
- Implement the decision that emerges, even if different from what you would have chosen
SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE:
Community members take increasing responsibility for growth and direction, creating self-sustaining momentum beyond your direct effort.
