Creating A Thriving Community-Part 2/4- Culture
This is the 2nd article in a 4-part series diving into my Community Cultivated™ framework which is the foundation for creating a thriving online community. These pillars should be prioritized before diving into other strategies and tactics. They are essential for creating a strong, sticky, and scalable community.
If you're eager to build a community that truly resonates with your audience, you need to understand these fundamental elements. The pillar we have covered so far was Cause. I urge you to go back and catch up on that article if you haven't already.
The 2nd Pillar- Culture
The second pillar of a thriving community is culture. Culture is essential for creating a sense of belonging among community members and driving their engagement. You will want to pay attention to these takeaways:
Belief, Behavior, and Boundaries: To establish a strong culture, three key elements are discussed: belief (what the community believes about itself and its members), behavior (expected actions and conduct), and boundaries (defining what the community stands for and against).
Nurturing Existing Culture: Cultures often already exist within communities, and the importance lies in identifying, nurturing, eliminating, or intentionally planting aspects of culture to strengthen the community's identity and unity.
Intentional Cultivation: Building a thriving community requires an intentional approach to culture development, where community leaders actively shape beliefs, behaviors, and boundaries, ultimately defining the culture of the community.
Make sure you come back to learn about the 3rd pillar in the next article. If you struggle with creating culture in your community or on your team, the Cultivate Course is for you!
