In social justice organisations, big vision and ambitious goals are motivating to the staff; however, the lack of people capacity to reach the scale of success organisations seek can end up exhausting everyone.

The internal work – especially finding and developing the right staff, overseeing financial and organisational growth, and creating diverse revenue streams – often consumed young leaders who had little experience or support in these areas. Many expressed the need for better management skills as they sought to implement internal organisational changes to move towards their vision
