I find that a Sr. Pastor with a leadership team works best. It allows for a visionary pastor, if we believe the Lord uses him, and the input of a team who buys into the vision as being from the Lord. This team is not a group of "yes" people, but respected peers who all desire the same thing and that is to see people saved and matured and serving. All input is respected and everyone is pulling in the same direction.

BTW, no one can be perfect. We are to be perfected. Perfecting is a process while perfect is a point. None of us will be perfect until we get to the other side.
This proves my point. First off the method of leadership IS GIVEN in the New Testament. Acts 14 tells Elders were ordained in every Church. No scripture says A PASTOR was ordained for a Church. So todays Ministers have a vision not equal to that of the early Church starting right here.

But then the Ministers of today as stated earlier deny the very purpose OF THE MINISTRY!

Does the head of the Church require his people to be perfect?

Be ye therefore perfect EVEN AS your Father which is in Heaven is perfect. Matt. 5:48

So yes the fruit of todays Assemblies is obvious. One cannot say the one man system works on the basis that it IS working.
