#443 neighbors





For several blocks in one area of town, all of the houses have large cement planters in their front yard.  It is a historical district, so I suspect that these containers have held flowers for generations.  They live on today, filled with blossoms in every house that has one.  The arrangements are all different, but still are unified by the planters themselves.

It is a simple step, but I believe one that distinguishes it as a neighborhood instead of a collection of houses next to each other.

What can you do to unify your work unit, organization or block?  How can you insert an element of cooperation into something you do so that it gives you an identity and point of pride?  I have said it before: cooperating on something universal and simple makes it easier to work together on the hard stuff.
