You want to be at a place where members co-create and voluntarily contribute to the community, rather than focus on what each individual person can get out of it.

Steps To Co-Creating Start with Personal Vision Treat Everyone as Equal Seek Alignment, Not Agreement Among Teams, Encourage Interdependence & Diversity Avoid Sampling Have People Speak Only for Themselves Expect and Nurture Reverence for Each Other Consider Using an Interim Vision to Build Momentum Focus on the Dialogue, Not just the Vision Statement

11.

Give everyone a chance to speak and encourage those who are silent Establish ground rules and expectations around communication and performance during team meetings

Recommendations Mature our own mental models and re-examine our assessments of situations Hold team learning meetings, and explore areas that have not before been made public, such as personal visions and values Begin to build shared vision by creating environments for co-creating and atmospheres for trust and mutual respect Find a balance between the uses of modern technology and exercising learning disciplines - put the human element (close communication & vision sharing) back into the business Train leaders and managers on employee coaching, team building, and trust building Engage groups in dialogue with well established ground rules to make collective decisions and solve problems
