3) Disagreements are looked on as opportunities not only to come up with the right decision but especially to grow in Christian character, through patience, tolerance, forbearance and forgiveness.
4) While the ultimate decision rests with the servant leader, consensus is desirable.
5) Those who have difficulty accepting a forthcoming decision have the right, and even duty, to ask that the matter continue to be discerned; after that, one has the right, and even duty, to ask that an unresolved matter be brought up to the next level of leadership for intervention, even all the way up to the SG.
6) Always maintain your joy.

1) The SG is the servant of all.
2) Anyone, leader or member, can bring anything up to the SG. This should never be resented by leaders when done by their subordinates.
3) It is then up to the SG whether to handle the matter directly, to assign the matter to someone, or to tell the person to go through the normal pastoral structure.

1) The service of servant leaders is subject to regular evaluation. Servant leaders should always welcome this as a way of improving their service.

3) Evaluation includes the overseer going directly to the servant leader’s subordinates and asking them to give inputs regarding their leader’s service.
4) Subordinates may go to a servant leader’s overseer to report any serious matter of concern. Fraternal correction would normally be the primary course of action, but may not be practical given certain circumstances.
