In the latest episode of the Insanely Profitable Tech Podcast, Alan Weiss, known as the Rock Star of Consulting, joins me to discuss his expertise in creating thriving business communities and shares insights from his new book, 'Building Dynamic Business Communities.'
Alan talks about the concept of community leadership, using historical figures like St. Paul as examples, and provides strategies for engaging and sustaining community interest in the modern age.
We discussed the importance of high-touch interactions in a high-tech world, the essence of community glue, and how to avoid pitfalls that lead to a community's decline. Alan emphasises what you need to keep your community engaged: original content creation, controversial yet thought-provoking discussions, and strategic empathy for fostering deep connections.
