Sovereign World Creators
Recognize the value of your community members.
while you want to keep a positive view of where you’re headed—Toward the Generative—it’s also important to keep a positive view of your community.
When we underestimate our community members, they mostly live up to our expectations.
- While most people don’t think about it this way, people who want to help make the world a better place are sovereign world creators engaged in a creative practice. They’re looking for ways to contribute that are meaningful for them and choosing what they can do given their time, skills and other resources. It’s to our advantage to think of them as sovereign world creators and treat them as such.
Therefore:
Acknowledge your community members as sovereign world creators who are actively looking for ways that they can contribute to creating a better world. Treat them with the dignity and respect they deserve.
Treat your community members as equals by welcoming them as partners—Partnership—and by using We/Us Pronouns in your communications.
