From what I've seen, inside organizations, many community leaders do have fewer resources - in particular in organizations that value hierarchy over horizontal collaboration. In his book the Conductive Organization, Hubert Saint-Onge does make a fairly compelling case about leveraging the value of strategic communities, with topics tied to real business challenges, and using this value to access resources (time, money, talent.)<BR/><BR/>I do have to disagree with you on your point about motivation though. I've seen many instances where a strong belief or "cause" in communities creates a very motivated leader (and follower), and I've met many a business leader who is "going through the motions." Should a business leader have a strong enough "cause" they as well can be equally motivated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37183042.post-36768481156173686952008-01-19T03:04:00.000-08:002008-01-19T03:04:00.000-08:00From my standpoint, comparing business and communi...From my standpoint, comparing business and community leadership, community leaders have less resources to implement projects. Unless there are major problems in a community, the business leader is more motivated than a community leader. www.YoungEntrepreneurSociety.com has more info on leadership and other related topics.Muninhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16812830473160173080noreply@blogger.com
