7.3.2.1: The problem here is that the leader probably is right in the eyes of those who suffer from feelings of moral inadequacy.  The leader will point at the gap between the size of the problem and the answer provided by an NGO. Our visionary dwells so much in revealing the vastness of the problem that all efforts of the organisation start looking futile. The answer could be to take a closer look at the opinions which are at the core of the leaders vision. There is something wrong if a vision does not inspire. Try these questions:  Is it a developing vision? Is it undergoing changes, is it a learning vision? Does a growing number of people in society regard the vision as outdated or can it still inspire people that come into fresh contact with it? Maybe you find at the root of the problem a leader with a too big identification with the original vision and a defence against change. Making others feel imperfect could be a way of protecting the brittle ideas of the past. If the organisation continues to dinning in the old ideological faith people will turn away from it.
