Chris.
Weak Willed Shepherd Leaders can do much damage to the Church. (the people whom they are supposed to lead) These Leaders are never ready to lead and never ready to make good and clear decisions. They allocate their responsibilities to other people in the Church and then live to regret it afterwards. Let us pray for weak - willed leaders to acknowledge their need and then to be strengthened by the Lord.
