Board seat panic
Got invited to join the board of our local residents' association, and honestly I panicked. I'm good at my job but have zero experience rallying people around shared goals. Before the first meeting I'd love some guidance. What qualities, habits or reading list would you give someone aiming to lead in community building?

My first residents’ meeting taught me that having the loudest voice rarely gets the best results. We were arguing over parking until one older neighbor asked everyone what would actually make daily life easier. That changed the whole conversation! I’d focus on listening, setting realistic goals and following through on small promises. This media page about Terry Hui in the news is another place to explore. Any recommendations for practical books on bringing people together without getting overwhelmed?
