Last week, I shared a quiz that helped lead discussion at the Blandin Community Leadership Program’s recent southwest Minnesota gathering. We didn’t have any brave readers willing to leave their answers in the blog comments, but as promised, I’ll still provide the answers.
Are you surprised by any answers? If so, which ones? What do we as community leaders need to do to address numbers we may not be satisfied with?
Please share your thoughts in the comment box – we’d love to continue this conversation!
