Perhaps identifying and acknowledging the importance of the many categories of Pagan leadership will allow for an appropriate expansion in the definition of leadership and thus allow for a move toward an appropriate division of labor and acknowledgment of each participant's leadership in their own sphere of excellence? Of course while one person can excel in multiple areas of leadership, identifying the 'best person for the particular job', may help resolve the on-going predicaments with Pagan leadership."}
