How to grow intentional communities

In this video Diana Leafe Christian talks about what the successful 10% of intentional communities do. They have:

• a common vision and purpose,
• fair participatory decision-making,
• clear agreements in writing,
• a good balance of right and left-brain knowledge,
• methods of staying accountable to agreements,
• criteria for new members,
• good communication and processing skills.

I see similarities between growing intentional communities and project teams. It’s not surprising since a project team is a kind of community.
