Social Cohesion · Lesson 3 of 4
The foundation of cohesion is practiced, not felt: respect, communication, understanding, empathy, patience, courage and commitment.
The result is measurable: people feel safe and supported, differences are respected, potential is realized, problems are solved together, and everyone can thrive.
Why it matters
Patience and commitment are on the foundation list because cohesion is slow work that fails when people quit early.
