Why focusing on our strengths matters: reflections on leaving a volunteer role I actually liked
Abstract In this article I describe the recent process of leaving a volunteer role that had, over a number of years, brought me much joy and satisfaction. This process of leaving gave me the opportunity to reflect on the kinds of organisational cultures that may work best in supporting volunteers and paid staff, as well as organisations themselves, to flourish. Through my journey of leaving, I describe the value of asset based approaches, and caring for people for who they are, not de-valuing them for who they are not, as part of creating constructive and positive outcome oriented organisations.
期刊介绍:
Since 1966 the leading international journal in its field, covering a wide range of topics, reviewing significant developments and providing a forum for cutting-edge debates about theory and practice. It adopts a broad definition of community development to include policy, planning and action as they impact on the life of communities. We particularly seek to publish critically focused articles which challenge received wisdom, report and discuss innovative practices, and relate issues of community development to questions of social justice, diversity and environmental sustainability.
