This brief article, Law #4, of knowledge management underlines the human factor of passion as the driver for communities of practice. The point is clearly made that top down CoPs are short lived. Workplaces can provide time and space, (and money) for the head as well as the heart to maximise CoP development. This is reflected in the emotional intelligence of leadership style of business management.
This is possible why chat, social presence, personal connectivity and nettique are so important in developing online learning communities

I think also Action is possibly the biggest driver. People could have all the passion in the world, but if nothing is happening in the community... they'll go elsewhere. People actively taking part in a community they are not so passionate about might still work, because they'll find some aspect of the projects underway that they can get more passionate about.
I see action as the water to nurture the main plant (community). Passion, perhaps could be the fertilizer. The plant could grow without it, but it grows so much faster and healthier with it. :-D

Another metaphor-fantastic
Surely action is the outcome -the growing plant
Passion is the fertiliser- ok
Knowledge base, collective knowledge is the soil
People are the cells that cannot live alone but put together grow, mulitply, carry water, food, oxygen etc
The flower- is the goal
lol
