And I'll just add one short story:
I founded and ran the dance in Boise Idaho for about 8 years. We had
a committee, but I took care of most of the details. When I was
getting ready to leave and move east, I was worried about what would
happen.
Not only did the committee step up to the plate, but they got many
more people involved, with the result that the dance is FAR STRONGER
now than when I was running it single-handedly.
Sometimes the best thing is for the obsessive-compulsive founder to
stop. The reality is that she doesn't need to do everything, and the
dance is much better off if a bunch of people share the work.
Or, as Alan says, let it die. (great post, Alan)
