We at the Hub have identified 4 main root causes of low group capacity.

Culture-related

Culture-related problems that might reduce group capacity, and some approaches to solving them, might include...

Example

"In a group of 'X' people, each person should speak no more than 'X%' of the time."

Consult this resource created by activist Daniel Hunter on how to build a resilient culture in our activist group as well as the one from the Transition Network on the notion of balance versus exhaustion.

A care web is a system in which people support each other through reciprocity. They differ from charitable care models in which people with disabilities only receive passive care.

Webs are best monitored by the needs and wants of team members to ensure that their needs are adequately addressed. Read more about care webs here.
