Tip #1
The first step is key to success of any goal you have in life and even more when you choose a community to learn, grow and support a shared mission. Setting the expectations of your community and all its members is vital to ensure sustained success and adding true value from the community. A community has to clearly understand it's shared values, bigger picture goal and all the roles from the very moment members agree to join. Get your members all on the same page and as a leader do things to incentivize and reward these behaviors.
One example of how the WeTransact innovation platform gives community leaders the ability to assign tasks and provide curated resources for each member based on what they are actively doing in the community. Encouraging each member to stay engaged and getting more personalized experience out of their community thru WeTransact.
Tip #2
The second step of a successful community working together is to maintain a safe and respectful environment. This starts with clear tenants and values that all actions of its members must follow and respect. There also must be accountability for actions that go against these shared and agreed upon values. Host a annual village hall or group discussion and vote to demonstrate a consensus for your community. This will not only ensure everyone is on the same page but also that if the community tenants need to evolve they can also empower the community to own it's shared values vs being directed to obey the values.
One example of how WeTransact creates safe areas of collaboration is by having various levels of security and shared access wen working within and outside of the community. Members can share projects with the community or even outside and maintain control over their data and permissions of who in the community can see what.
Tip #3
The third step is to think about the tools and superpowers of your community as shared assets that can be orchestrated for your shared missions. A strong community leader will unite and organize opportunities for their community to take action together while showcasing the superpowers of their members. As supportive and appreciative mentality will lite the fire to organize real global change. One way you can help your community find it's shared global impact is by talking about what matters most to them. A great way to begin this open discussion is via the UN Sustainable Developement Goals. Researchers and top experts have distilled every global problem into easy to understand goals and guidance on the most impactful ways to take action and where assistance from your community can make measurable impact by implementing programs locally.
One example of how WeTransact gives its community organizers to connect the dots across their ecosystem and also outside to other community groups is via the partner flows. This can be implemented to connect not only members to resources they need specific to what they are working on within their community but also to connect across partnering communities and their aligned resources.
Tip #4
The fourth step is to act. Many communities fail because they get analysis paralysis and don't try to do anything. It's vital to lead your communities to do at least 1 thing together. It will start to strengthen their take action muscles and give the confidence needed to keep going. Take small accomplishments that will create momentum and courage to experiment together. Failing together is part of a community and this is OK. Share and report learnings from failures and get back out there and try again together. It will not only build bonds between your members that they can get thru anything together but also be one step closer to the shared mission. A great way to encourage this is to have annual or quarterly recaps of milestones achieve and lessons learned. We all have busy lives and can get caught up in the minutia of day to day news and life. Reflecting on our accomplishments will uplift your members in ways you may not ever fully know.
One way the WeTransact platform helps community members take it one step at a time is by curating the information, tasks, and resources to each individual member based on their goals and what they are working on at that moment in time. This prevents analysis paralysis and members getting overwhelmed or lost look for what they need and trying to navigate thru the community discussion boards on their own. Saving members time an d energy on what they are trying to accomplish today together and on their own.
