Conflicts
Small voluntary organisations find themselves faced with four competing governance requirements:
- Whilst countering social exclusion and strengthening civil society, they must be accountable to members and have a strong voice.
- Whilst delivering services to users, they must be accountable to funders/purchasers.
- Whilst promoting social entrepreneurship, they must balance accountability to a wide group of stakeholders with individual action.
- Whilst engaging in consultation and lobbying, they must demonstrate responsiveness and accountability to the community.

Famous quotes containing the word conflicts:
“In motherhood, where seemingly opposite realities can be simultaneously true, the role of nurturer invariably conflicts with the role of socializer. When trouble came as it surely must, was I the good cop who understood, the bad cop who terrorized, or both?”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
“Not all conflicts between siblings are good, of course. A child who is repeatedly humiliated or made to feel insignificant by a brother or sister is learning little except humiliation and shame.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“The extrovert and introvert, the realist and idealist, the scientist and philosopher, the man who found himself by refinding his life history and the individual who discovered his being in fantasy, these are the differences between Freud and Jung.”
—Robert S. Steele. Freud and Jung: Conflicts of Interpretation, ch. 10, Routledge & Kegan Paul (1982)
