When to Call It Quits
Stanford Social Innovation Review
NOVEMBER 30, 2022
By Dyani Leal. “Maybe we should dissolve.” In July, after over a decade of operation in Nicaragua (and an unwavering commitment to the organization I founded), I found myself uttering this unthinkable phrase at a board meeting.
