What if God never intended the church to be led by one person or even a small group? You will not find the one-man pastor mode of leadership in scripture. The only mention of it was Diotrephes in 3 John v. 9 f. He wanted to be the number one guy but John said he would set him straight when he came to visit. The church was to be led by a plural group of older, mature men (Acts 24:24; 15:4; 20:17; 1 Peter 5:1; etc.) Every believer is a priest to God (1 Peter 2:9; Rev. 1:6) and we all are to participate in ministry (Eph 4:16; 1 Cor 14:26-33). We run our churches like a business and we need to run them like a family.
