Excellent comments Greg. I think these are "lagging" indicators. The "diva" attitude started & developed before - now, these indicators are just showing up. If someone is at this point, the church probably can't afford to get rid of them because of the "draw" that their personality brings to the church. Huge subject you have opened here.

Thanks.The overall tone (transparency, dialogue, sharing, community) seems to be that of Servant Leadership advanced by Robert Greenleaf instead of the "Top-down" style used by many leaders.
