Summary

This practical leadership guide offers seven timeless principles for building a supportive and inclusive community with a strong sense of purpose. 
 
Many people think of “community” as something that happens by accident or emerges naturally over time. But in The Art of Community, Charles Vogl shows that there are specific principles that leaders can use to create or strengthen communities. Drawing on three thousand years of tradition, Vogl lays out the seven enduring principles that every community of every kind—whether formal or informal—must master to be effective. 
 
Vogl describes the purpose of each principle and offers extensive hands-on tools for implementing them. He also shares ways to help communities remain healthy and life-affirming by avoiding toxic rigidity and exclusivity.

    Today, the pace of change is so great that no company can afford to wait to respond to new developments. You need nimble and creative problem solving, and the most intelligent and efficient decision-making doesn't come from the top—it comes from your employees on the frontlines who interact with customers and have the ability to see and respond to the shifting landscape before anyone else. 
     
      
     
    The leaders whose organizations are best able to innovate solutions, win customers, and boost profits during this era of rapid change will be the ones who realize that everyone—from the CEO down to the frontline employee—is a leader, capitalize on that knowledge, and use it to grow. In this book, Eric Strafel draws on twenty years of experience as a top executive at Fortune 500 companies to show you how to decentralize and democratize decision-making through every level of the workforce, while ensuring that the company stays aligned, that each employee understands the company’s underlying purpose, and that everyone works toward the same goal. Learn how to: leverage frontline leadership to improve corporate agility; partner with customers and with frontline employees to maximize internal innovation; create a highly engaged, empowered, and energized workforce in every department; and equip the company to break through barriers, overcome plateaus, and scale.

    Who doesn’t have goals for themselves? As human beings, we are constantly setting goals, both personal and professional, so that we can grow and improve. Sometimes, the goals are just in our heads, and sometimes we write them down and even make vision boards to inspire us and remind us of our goals everyday. I’ve had plenty of experience with many different ways of goal setting, and plenty of experience with disappointing outcomes as I fail to reach the targets I set for myself. 
    Unfortunately, the truth is that few people rarely become successful at achieving every objective they set, and even then, success might not come in a timely manner. That’s where this book is invaluable. 
    After much trial and error in my research, I’ve figured out the best program to set solid objectives and how to push myself to achieve them every time. I have learned to be the most productive person I can be, and you can do the same. 
    Work to Reach Your Goals Now By Following the Four Most Important Aspects of Success 
    In this book, you will learn to:Set realistic, solid goals, whether they are big or small, and keep them in the forefront of your mindDevelop the discipline and good habits necessary for sweet successKeep your mind focused on the outcome until it is achievedManage a high level of productivity as you work to complete multiple objectives and establish loftier goals than you ever thought possible 
    In our busy world, solid goal setting and the knowledge to accomplish the goals you set is the one change that changes everything. Don’t waste any more time trying and failing to make progress toward your objective: learn the most effective ways to achieve your goals, so that you can set more.
