Ownership = community

Ownership is a better motivator than blame.

Effective community leaders use failure as a chance to teach by leveraging the beneifits of ownership. “Who will step up to make this better?” they ask.

Ineffective community leaders use failure as a chance to chastise by leveraging the convenience of blame. “Whose fault is this?” they ask.

You’ll know you’re in deep community when people want to stay to make things better rather than leave because that makes things easier.
