You've heard the idiom about trying to manage a challenging group, "It's like herding cats?" This is funny (and true) because, well, cats are impossible to herd. They do what they want, when they want. You've also heard "Don't be a sheep." Being called a sheep is an insult. It means someone views you as just going along with things.

But, when we are in community together, what is the sweet spot between these extremes?
