We have never visited or heard about an Israelite community without a charity fund…”– Rambam • Some Challenges Are Too Big For Any One Community • Uneven Distribution of Resources and Talent • Bulwark Against Rampant Individualism • Efficiency and Efficacy of Scale

  6. Build A Team… “…silos rise up not because of what executives are doing purposefully but rather because of what they are failing to do: provide themselves and their employees with a compelling context for working together.” Patrick Lencioni, Silos, Politics and Turf Wars
