If you've ever spent any time trying to lead a group of people toward a specific goal, whether it's for business, fun, or to make the world a better place, you know that it's not as easy as it looks.  In Community Wins, Bryan Allain takes his experience in leading communities around the world, and boils that down into through-provoking, actionable steps.Based on the principle that generosity, love and passion are critical to the success of any community, Bryan's strategies are not "get rich quick" or even "get popular quick" tactics.  Instead, he encourages community builders to look at the long-term goals for the community, keep that vision close, and invest deeply and patiently in the soul of the community to help it grow in a healthy and authentic way.Now that I've read the book all the way through and have a good overview, I'm starting back at the beginning to work through each action step to intentionally invest in my community.
