Why are we afraid to let the community decide?

Why are we afraid? A friend in a meeting said we need to have the board decide the direction for the organization, not the whole community. When we assent to this, we say we fear the alternative. Yet does not the community ultimately decide—by whether it supports the organization by going to it for its goods and services and by volunteering in this community or that? Do we not have good people with good heads and good hearts in this community? Do we fear them or do we fear us?

We do not get out of control. We just spread it beyond ourselves. Does our ego fear loss of that little thing it can clutch?
