Ever struggle to persuade someone to do what you wanted them to do?
Tricky, yes? (Even when you just know it’s right.)
What happens when we back off and take the time, create the space, and find out what they really want?
Well, Roger Frick did just that as he engaged with local United Ways in Indiana’s communities … and with one of the country’s largest foundations. (Roger is President of the Indiana Association of United Ways.)
And he’s here to tell you how much more happened than he or anyone else ever expected. Much, much more.
I’ll let Roger tell you in his own words what he’s been up to … and what he’s learned that you can put to work in what you’re doing. It’s a 70-minute interview and worth every second of your attention.

Roger,I was amazed by the level of team work that you guys had. You also did very well on letting the people initiate, and own it.
There was indeed high level of enthusiasm. I liked what you said about crafting what already existed in the community.I always say that, the fuel is already there, it just needs some one to ignite it, Keep up with the great work Roger, you surely value members of your team, I know they value you too.
