Editing Strategizing (section)

=== Motivation ===
Motivated individuals are more driven to do the hard work that is required to learn the knowledge and skills needed to achieve a desired outcome. Motivation also influences creativity because it affects the focus towards one’s work, ability to concentrate for long periods of time, persistence, willingness to take risks, and the ability to sustain high levels of energy.

In closing, strategy is simply turning what you have into what you need to get what you want. Thinking through – Who are our people? What is our problem? What is our goal? And what is our theory of change? – is critical to effective community organizing.
