You can have disagreement, discussion, debate, etc. and still have one strong leader, one who takes accountability for a course of action and expects the others to support the final decision 100%.

Are you focused on "image"? I find it more important to look at, values, principles, actions and results. I could careless about "image". If a person is doing good, what difference does it make if they have on a $20 jacket from Goodwill or a $2,000 jacket from wherever people buy $2,000 jackets (I don't know).

This is why I am more inclined to donate my time to causes rather than money. Once you give the money you have to assume it may be spent in ways you don't support. Also, one reason why I support lower taxes, government tends to spend money on stuff that "aggravates" me all the time.
