DLF - a paradox

Pros

Awesome mission! David Lynch is wonderful. Cool perks like top entertainers and performers at events. Feel like you're a part of something unique, helping bring meditation to high risk communities.

Cons

The organization is a paradox. You would be shocked to see how stressed and adversarial leadership is - many of them are meditation teachers! Also, leadership does not take effective management seriously at all. You know it's bad when directors laugh at how bad they are at managing, state that they know they aren't good, and then move on to the next celebrity who walks through the door. There is fiscal irresponsibility as well, spending mostly for office overhead and production costs and a constant tightening of program budgets.

Pros

Some nice and interesting people, unique mission, opportunities to attend events with celebrities and influencers.

Cons

Lots of micromanaging, staff is not always able to contribute in an effective way, management is too reactive, always in crisis mode, and fiscally irresponsible.

Unique mission but flawed

Pros

Interesting network of creative people, with some perks of meeting celebrities, attending events. Staff members learn to meditate for free. Mission is unique.

Cons

Huge focus on PR/marketing/special events, with very little focus on program quality, adhering to mission, or sustainable management. Organization is dealing with serious Founder's Syndrome and growing pains. Upper management is disorganized, lacks clear communication with staff, and demonstrates fiscal irresponsibility.
