Scenario

When organizations struggle between preservation and inclusion

Our activist group has been trying to be more inclusive but every time we change something to accommodate new members, some of the people who built this organization get defensive about 'losing what made us effective.' I understand both sides but we're stuck and people are starting to leave.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The desire to grow while maintaining identity creates competing loyalties that can paralyze groups trying to change.
