Who’s Running The Ship?

mutinyWhen you think of a large cruise ship and the way that it’s run. Who runs the ship, the captain or the crew?

If you’re like most people you would say the captain….. and you’d be wrong.  As you think about all the things that need to be done on the ship, keeping the engines running, taking care of all the wants and needs of the passengers, the entertainment, the food preparation, the cleaning, the navigation, the weather and all the moment by moment decisions that must happen in order to make the ship work; there is no way that the captain could be personally involved in even 2% of those decisions.

If the captain were to get caught up in things like deciding when the ships engine is due for an oil change or deciding what seasoning is going to be on the fish dinner tonight or the brand of glass cleaner used to wash the windows then the ship couldn’t function.
