There is one Master. The dominant/submissive relations you imply are antithetical to the spirit of Jesus. In the LC you get one man's ignorant opinions. Why can't we critique them, just as he did with others?
If you want to see good leadership, look at George Washington. His generals were nothing if not opinionated. Washington would let them hash it out in front of him, as he carefully watched. Then he would speak for group consensus. Kind of like Peter and James in Acts 15, after "much discussion" (vv. 7,13)
In the LC you get one man's ignorant opinion, presented as divine fiat.

In the Bible we do not see much critique of Jesus's teachings by his disciples. We see doubts, questions, "what did you mean Lord?", but no critique as such. Rather, it was the Pharisees who critiqued his teachings.
