2. Underground Fire = Organizational Meltdowns
Preventing the fire.

3. What Is An Organizational Underground Fire?
It is unresolved interpersonal conflicts that are generally fueled by a hyper-spiritual critical spirit that begin as whispers and surge into a raging fire attempting to consume everything good about the organization.

4. Several years ago a board chairman of a prolife medical clinic organization called me stating that he had meet with the Nurse Manager and a few other staff members who had complaints about the Executive Director.

5. He said that he had a growing feeling of unease during his time with the staff because the complaints appeared to him to be related to personality conflicts rather than anything unethical or illegal.

6. He explained that the Executive Director had been with them for over five years and that the board loved her. Revenue had significantly increased and the clinic was seeing more patients than ever before under this Executive Director’s leadership.

7. And now, the Nurse Manager wanted to meet with the entire board to air their complaints without the Executive Director being there and he wanted to know what to do.
