Old Rasputin, on the topic of leadership and respect I feel there are different levels of respect. It's easy to respect a leader out of position and function. To respect a leader as a brother is defined by how sensitive situations are handed.
Whether or not the leader takes time to know the individuals involved in situations and the situations itself without relying on someone else's speaking.

Even if we as brothers and sisters come to respect a leader by their direction and how situations are handled, they are still men prone to err and our submission to them is according to their authority in Christ.
