Guest guest Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 Hi Katherine, having served in many organisations, I've seen how those with the softest hearts and the purest intentions can often be exploited. I have seen how integrity gets weakened as consensus sinks to the lowest common denominator of what is most easily achievable. I've noted how the passion of joiners is often more conditional than that of the leader. Likewise factions can arise with the most charismatic speakers and the most cunning strategists seeking to splinter consensus and hijack mission objectives using the practice of group " brainstorming " as their entry point. Often all of this is done with the most noble intentions of the individual group members but can render the Dream unattainable as commitment and interest drain away. To right the ship, my reading of your next move would be that of having an intense one-on-one discussion and refocus with each dissenter at some congenial, non-threatening venue and time, but before your next meeting. Just a final point, the organisations that seem to me as most successful in dealing with human need, always apply the sternest discipline and the strongest insistence on teamwork accountability from all people in the group. So Kath, don't be frightened that the strength of your heartfelt sense of duty will be lost by curbing the out-of-left-fielders. Results are everything. Love - John. ===================================================== Katherine wrote: Hi Pam. What I mean was surrendering to the need to cry. " Tested " meaning by people, patience. I had a board meeting last night and towards the end of it I felt as if I just wanted to cry. The reason is I felt like some of the people I thought I carefully chose as my boardmembers to help see my vision of helping the needy come to life bringing joy to their hearts and lives want to make it their own, changing it to their likings, with me doing all the work. I was so frustrated and so heart broken that I almost walked out of the meeting giving it to them to do. Had I not had a vision and a goal and the love for these people I would have left. A friend of mine (Executive Director of the Daily Bread) tells me that I have the burning desire in my heart to see this through and he always tells me to " persevere " no matter what happens, what I encounter. Last night those words, Gods plan, and my love for the service kept me there. I only wish that I could read the minds of these people, have discernment for their true motives. One of them was really rude and disrespectful and tried to be very controlling. I guess I had my vision of no struggle, no problems, I guess you could call it being naive. This has plagued me all day long and I can't seem to shake the uncertain path of my mission, my vision. I feel sad, I feel burdened, I feel hurt! Ego is playing with my emotions. That is what is going on. Love, Katherine. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 Katherine, Your " vision " touches me deeply ... Sad, but True - Some people are going to be really rude, disrespectful, and very controlling. Your vision of " no struggle, no problems " is very Positive, but, I doubt that it could come to pass in this present reality. You have so much Light, Katherine, and I can see that it is devastating to you to encounter Darkness in your carefully chosen boardmembers. You have been given a gift, and are walking in the Light, something that many others proclaim, but, so many - actually have no idea of where we are coming from. Just rest, and let it roll off ... Love and Blessings. Fenix , Katherine Miller <katsam19 wrote: > > Hi Pam. What I mean was surrendering to the need to cry. " Tested " meaning by people, patience.
