To Go Far, Go Together
The Trend toward Solving Social Issues through Collaborative Effort
Abstract
An old African proverb reminds us, “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.“
When faced with society’s acute needs and driven by a determination to address them—like many of us in the nonprofit and philanthropic sectors—it’s easy to be impatient, tempting to rush forward on a mission to solve a pressing problem solo.
