2.4.4.1: The crucial question could be: why couldn't we discuss and solve this problem at an appropriate (earlier) moment? Is it because we have a non interference culture? (Look at solution 8: changing the organisational culture).
Or is it because it is very hard to realise that the organisation once so unique and much-needed gradually became just one among others. Especially for founders such a reality can be unbearable.

So prepare with other workers a safe and accepting atmosphere before bringing the subject into an open discussion.
And look at solution 1B: reorientation of mission. Read change 3: resistance to change.
