Lack of Shared Vision
Competing priorities stall collective action.
Context
Without a unifying vision, communities fragment into competing factions. Energy gets spent on conflicts rather than building shared futures.
How It Shows Up
- Endless debates without decisions or action
- Multiple groups working on similar issues in parallel
- Inability to prioritize limited resources effectively
- New leaders encounter resistance and burnout
- Community plans sit on shelves unused
Patterns That Address This
- Shared Cultural Story
- Nested Governance Tables
- Civic Intermediary Table
- Listening Infrastructure
