Leadership, much like counselors, have to detach from the client/member's issues to have their own life. It is not my responsibility to carry the burden of my clients, not the Pastor's responsibility to make decisions for the congregation. They are to teach and feed the flock/congregation through example and word.
You'd be surprised if you put the responsibility back on the person by asking them what they think they should do in light of what God has said in his word...can come up with the right answer for themselves.

I agree with what you are saying. I am a self-starter and have never had a problem in this area.
Just looking back and having been under both good and bad leadership, I still see a large group of people that don't seem to have a "desire" to try and think for themselves.
I don't know where that comes from. I'm not sure we can totally blame that on a lack of good leadership in all cases.
I personally know a great leader and preacher who has cried and said, "I can't get these people to stop living off of my anointing and seek their own."
This still amazes me. I don't understand it. I'm sure I am approaching your thread from another direction. LOL!
