Taking M. Scott Peck's community building into organisations
Article Abstract:
Community building is an idea developed by Scott Peck and the US Foundation for Community Encouragement which seeks to foster a community spirit. Groups go through stages before becoming a community. The aims include tolerating ambiguity, encouraging integrity and civility, and being open to experience. The idea relates to concepts of personal development and authentic communication. There may be resistance to accepting these ideas, but there are benefits for those who try them out.
