Most human endeavors require cooperation from others. Organizing things with other people takes skill. Not everyone has those skills. I have some of the skills, but not all. I can coordinate a project within a well-managed organization, but I cannot create a well-managed organization.
Sometimes there are things we want to do that can only be done with the cooperation of others. Sometimes we don't have the skill to organize others. Sometimes, there is no skilled organizer organizing in that area.
At one time, my employer was a well-organized institution. Now they are no longer well-organized. Two of the organizations I'm involved in outside my job lack good leadership. I do what I can, but it's not enough. I'm not enough of a good organizer to bring together enough people and get them to perform well enough.
So what do we do if we want to do something, but there's no good leadership for it? Working with less than perfect leadership is something we all have to deal with. That too is a skill.
If there's something we want to do, but not enough people with good organization skills who are interested, do we still try to do it? Or do we join a different organization which is better organized? It all depends on the situation.
