Does leadership require a team? Does the team paradigm enhance the function of leadership? I believe so. All the current leadership agrees, yet . . . what do you do when you find yourself in a context which gives verbal assent to the concept while practicing a practical autocracy? Depending upon your position within the organization . . . and the approachableness of the autocrat, the answer may be "live with it." This is hardly an answer, however, for the individual who seeks the fulfillment which could be part of such a team. In this case, it will be up to the individual to evaluate his own calling, position of service and prayerfully consider what God wants, both for the organization (which may mean sticking with the program) and the individual.
