Dissension In The Ranks

You think when a group forms, they come together for a common goal but all groups have dissension in the ranks. Dissension in the ranks is a term used to describe internal conflict within an organization. Each person has their own agenda and at the opportune time, their true colors show. Major splits have occurred as a result of this. I think if you're going to form an organization, you have to recruit people that all share the same passion and will work for the same goal. That's easier said than done because egos come into play; each person is looking out for their own best interest. In joining an organization, you have to be able to put your ego aside for the betterment of the organization. A certain level of selflessness is required to join an organization because even though you have a legit reason for having your own agenda, you knew what you were getting into when you joined the organization. The strongest groups will have internal conflict from time to time, it's a matter of how strong the bond is that they can put their beef aside and get back on one accord. Can groups avoid dissension in the ranks? Yes, if they set boundaries on what will/won't work. No matter how much planning, conflict will come within groups. However, there are times where one has to further their own agenda outside the group. In times where one has to leave an organization, it's usually for the best but they still remain ties to their old group because they never know when they may need a helping hand. You don't want to leave on bad terms.
