Teams, groups, organizations, churches, clubs, families, homeschooling groups, etc, don't need perfect leaders. They need real, human, vulnerable ones. They need leaders who have faults and talk openly about them. Faults, after all, are part of our inherenthumanness.

If you tell me you don't have any real faults or flaws I'm telling you that you're either entirely delusional or extremely dishonest with yourself and/or others. Or both. Aren't many other options.

Stop chuckling. That can actually end up really, really, really badly for all involved. Don't believe me? Well, there's always jokers like this popping up all over the place. And that's just in one tiny little snippet of the religious world that I happen to be a bit more familiar with than others.
