What if the issues raised are things like “racism” and “polarization”?
We are aware that there are a number of “mindset issues” that tend to hinder progress in southeast Michigan. These include: • Racial/ethnic segregation, polarization • Regional political/geographical divisions • Sense of entitlement • Lack of leadership • Negativity • Cynicism / lack of trust While we could talk about these issues forever, we believe that they will only be overcome as people learn to work together to achieve a series of concrete goals. People learn from success. Our successful development of collaborative strategies to tackle distinct problems will empower people to take on larger challenges. So instead of listing the reasons why something won’t work, we should seek to identify the positive state to which we all aspire – and then find ways to go there.
