Why (Not) to read this book (Audience)
This book does not provide a tooling guide for creating a community. The book is about the human side of creating a community and even argues that a true community is not a remote but an in-person experience.
How this book changed my views (Takeaways)
1. Where there is no communication, there can’t be a community (Community = Communicating in Unity)
2. Having multiple Visions in a Team creates Division (2 x Vision = Division)
3. Meaningful work equals a meaningful life, we are longing for belonging.
-- a. Support: Community begins with coaching, where diversity of gifts are important, and having similar values build the foundation of the community.
-- b. Encouragement: Helping find people purpose, inspiring your members to do the things they may be afraid to do. Jim Collins’s advice: “Get the right people on the bus, then get them in the right seat.”
-- c. Accountability: There’s a big difference between forcing someone to be accountable and inviting someone into accountability through support and encouragement.
What did I color in the book (Highlights)
A manager is someone who accounts for resources, organizes processes, and reports data to directors. Although these things are very important, they won’t matter much if the manager doesn’t have the willing cooperation of the team members. Leaders develop people.
The origin of the word coach is carriage, which is simply a vehicle to help people get from where they are to where they want or need to be.
