The Sweet Spot of Public Life is when individuals, organizations, groups, and networks in communities take actions to address public concerns (fault lines) and, at the same time, build the underlying community conditions (civic culture) for change to take root and spread.
The key to finding the Sweet Spot is to be clear on the public concern and the underlying community conditions that need to be developed and strengthened so progress can be made.
When communities work in the Sweet Spot of Public Life, they can accelerate their progress, create meaningful impact, and grow Civic Faith.
