            <p>Every great movement begins with a singular, passionate vision, but success brings an inevitable crisis of scale. Whether you are navigating the complexities of organizational growth in your BUS 555 MBA studies, expanding clinical and institutional impact in your MSCI 700 DMSc cohort, or reflecting on the historical lessons of faith through Mark Galli’s <em>Francis of Assisi and His World</em>, the fundamental challenge remains the same. When a movement outgrows its founder, the original, pure ideals often clash with the practical need for order and structure. We will explore this profound founder's dilemma together, looking closely at how early conflicts shape the trajectory of an organization. By examining historical narratives where leaders refused to simply pick a villain, we will learn how to accurately diagnose the scaling crisis that every successful mission eventually faces.</p>

<p>Moving beyond the initial crisis, our journey will guide you through the nuanced art of governance design and the realist's constraint. You will uncover the subtle, genius moves that often go unnoticed during leadership transitions and actively engage in practical exercises, such as drafting a Protector's Charter to safeguard core values. As we delve deeper, we will tackle the delicate, often painful balance between survivable compromise and fatal mission drift. By sorting through real-world compromises and evaluating different readings of historical governance, you will develop a robust, compassionate framework for scaling a vision sustainably. Ultimately, this exploration will equip you to protect the heart of a founding mission while building the resilient structures necessary for it to thrive across generations.</p>
