How can we work as equals, sharing responsibilities, encouraging one another in our development, and offering a high-quality product or service? Vision in Action is a workbook for those involved in social creation--in collaborative actions that can influence the social environment in which we live and where our ideas and actions can matter. This is a user-friendly, hands-on guide for developing healthy small organizations--ones with soul and spirit.
