While I agree that trying many routes to get an organization unstuck is a worthwhile effort, there also comes a point where making a personal change is necessary for one’s sanity. At some point, you grow weary of the constant battle to effect change, regardless of whether its the organization that is stuck or the person. Thus, I think there’s another option in your above scenario: recognizing your own abilities and limitations, acknowledging you may fight the same battles elsewhere to varied degrees, and yet seeking another opportunity where you may be able to effect change with fewer walls. It’s a difficult decision and one that takes time, but sometimes even changing the walls makes a big difference.
