Pros
Access to a network of some great social change leaders
Cons
Deeply political, self-promoting culture - if you are naturally of that kind, you will thrive! No regard for young, innovative leaders who have a mind of their own Severe lack of empathy - almost opposite of what Ashoka advocates for Zero consultation with and attention to grassroots No place for learning and development - a young person can not even imagine learning anything except organisational politics Depleting brand and regard among the change community No good people are sticking around White supremacy - all the decisions are made mostly by white people, a net-net white board, with some entitlement Nurturing some of the most self-righteous people, most of whom have joined Ashoka with zero experience decades ago but learnt the language and culture that works in the organisation
