“Most of our organizations and communities are boss-subordinate conversations.
We think that matters. We think the boss-subordinate relationship matters, but I don’t think it does.”

What is that one thing that causes you to say, “That will never happen here”?
Change it to “I shall make that happen here.”
![Page 29: Thought Citizen](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052315/556d3839d8b42aa95c8b4b83/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
“Community will be created the moment we decide to act as creators of what it can become.
This requires us to believe that this organization, neighborhood, community is mine or ours to create.
This will occur when we are willing to ask the question "How have I contributed to the current reality?"
Peter Block
Confusion, blame and waiting for someone else to change are a defense against ownership and personal power.”
