Bring People Together! Strong communities help people support one another, share their passions, and achieve big goals. And such communities aren’t just happy accidents-they can be purposefully cultivated, whether they’re in a company, in a faith institution, or among friends and enthusiasts. Drawing on 3,000 years of history and his personal experience, Charles Vogl lays out seven time-tested principles for growing enduring, effective, and connected communities. He provides hands-on tools for creatively adapting these principles to any group-formal or informal, mission driven or social, physical or virtual. This book is a guide for leaders seeking to build a vibrant, living entity that will greatly enrich its members’ lives.
