We don't need to engage everyone in our network/community of practice/improvement campaign. Trying to activate the passive parts of our community or stakeholder group can be exhausting & demoralising . Unequal participation is natural.
In most communities/groups we can see three clear groups:
(1) The most active members at the core: they are the "stewards" who take initiative & make things happen.
(2) The committed members: they want to be part of this group, they contribute & participate to their abilities
(3) The outer circle of people who are mostly passive: some of them were once active in the past; some of them you have never seen.
Group (3) make up the majority of your community.
It is a mistake to try to turn the disengaged people in group (3) into group (2) activists. You can't push anyone into anything. Much better to focus on supporting groups (1) & (2). Keep group (3) informed & make light-touch invitations. People’s energy often changes over time so don't close doors:
