Community June 29, 2008
This is an important book to help redefine what community means and to ensure that every individual in our society has a place of worth and value. It serves as both a call to action and a guide for community transformation. I highly recommend it to those who know that change is needed and seek more than lip-service from politicians to make change a reality.
Community ....Peter Block June 17, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Seminal work on how to change culture by changing the conversations we have. Had Peter as a graduate instructor and his fireside chats were marvelous...and the book continues in the tradition of insight, optimism, the power we have in language and questions to create a better future (or as Peter puts it ...possibilities). We are at a precipice in organizations to achieve engagement, ownership, agreements that deliver success and accountability and reward. All of us especially those we elect as our political leaders should question our current path to community and ask how we might togethe embrace and practice these principles. It is our only hope to create a new and greater future.
Peter Block Has Really Outdone Himself With This One! May 29, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Peter Block's new book Community really has a wealth of information about creating a healthyenvironment based on a structure that's not only innovative, but grounded in an easily adoptable format. This isn't just a consulting book, or "how to" book it has something that will appeal to anyone trying to create a sense of belonging. This book is a culmination of what Peter seems to have been building up to for years. If you're a fan of Peter's work then you probably already have this one, but if your new to Peter Block and his style this is actually a great place to start. Read Community and enjoy!
Packed with Tools and Ideas May 24, 2008
When I open up a Peter Block book I am expecting something both thoughtful and practical. I expect to come away with some questions that brought pause...and also some ideas or tools that I can turn around and use in my own work. Block's latest, Community: The Structure of Belonging, did not disappoint. It was exactly what I expected and then some. Much more a fieldbook than a concept paper, Community is a resource I will be turning to for help in hosting meetings of all kinds. If you're responsible for building teams or collaborating structures, this is a resource you will want to own.
A Path to What America Desperately Needs May 24, 2008
Peter Block and publisher Berrett-Koehler have produced a must-read best-seller! Peter has done the ultimate service! He has posed the critical questions in his book, Community: The Structure of Belonging, to guide us in embracing what we need to focus on as small communities, as a part of the American and global community. America has lured people from all over the world to its shores to live together, learn together, and work together--one large global community within our nation. But our nation's thinking is crumbling--and with it goes our healthy collaboration, happiness, growth and development, our competitive edge and productivity, effective education and healthcare systems, etc.
Peter's insights and questions are powerful catalysts to the transformation we need today. He challenges us to shift our thinking and actions to a new level (real transformation, not mere change) and have the conversations (methods are described in the book) to create the commitment and design for us to all have a sense of belonging in authentic communities. Thank you Peter and BK for a great contribution and a resource I am excited to refer to my friends and customers working to transform, lead and innovate.
