For them · Sheryl Sandberg: 45 / 60

Shared ground

These are two perspectives on growth, not interchangeable identities. Healer emphasizes: Helping within agreed limits rather than assuming responsibility for every difficulty. Rootkeeper emphasizes: Allowing established roots to support new directions.

How the approaches could work together

For Healer's chosen goal, Rootkeeper offers a possible perspective: Allowing established roots to support new directions. Use it only if that contribution is wanted and useful.
