Synopsis
The process that renders Community Found (and sustainability), is an open engagement where diverse participants reconcile their stories and reconfigure how they can live together for the good of each another.
However, many are caught in fast-think, run fast races to get things done, causing collateral damages to add up. Down deep they may know better, but most keep running to get ahead,while others run just to keep up. The result is disillusionment, as the realization sets in that they are only “running to stand still.” This fast game is neither efficient or sustainable, sacrificing both community and good outcomes. There must be something better--something more.
What if good and efficient outcomes in organizations, businesses, cities, towns, and beyond, are catalyzed by interpersonal experiences of community? This would make finding a community-forming process our top priority. While this seems counterintuitive, the stories in this book provide compelling evidence that community formation is the key to our getting to good together. Discover what happens when a divided and left behind people experience community. Witness how a small dying town with a single story of pervasive decline and a draining economy restores life to themselves and their town. Their unique ritual practice of "stories-telling" lights a path towards shared goodness that others can follow.
Through the eyes of Ronald Pate the reader discovers that without a unitive process, every endeavor—from individual to institutional—falls apart. This book is about just such a unifying process – one that activates creative energies that cooperate rather than compete.
“I will highly recommend this book to CEOs, directors, and managers.” --William Zybach, Syngineering
“Pate’s book should be widely read… It provides a blueprint for healing the divide that is currently rupturing American society.” –Josh De Keijzer, PhD
“Pate convinces me that community is the key to…quality of life!” –Thomas Oord, Director of the Center for Open and Relational Theology at Northwind Seminary
