When co-founders disagree on organizational capacity and growth

We've been running this nonprofit for five years and my co-founder keeps making promises to funders about programs I know we can't deliver on time or budget, but when I bring up capacity limits in meetings, I'm seen as the negative one who doesn't believe in our mission.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people who share responsibility are operating from fundamentally different assessments of what's possible, and their organizational roles make it hard to address the disconnect directly.
