Stating The Obvious

This post would seem to be stating the obvious. As a Church leader, one typically does not need to make decisions for the Church. One seeks to make decisions with the Church. If one permits pooled wisdom, pooled wisdom usually yields more than one had thought. Or from a spiritual point of view, one hears the Spirit through the Body. OBSERVATION: My own Plan B -- if the above should ever seem inadequate -- is typically to argue a point, though not to "argue to win". In my experience, any Plan C is very seldom necessary. In keeping with the above, I have seldom made proposals in my career.
