Ephesians 5:22-24 ESV

Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands.

Submission to the leadership is a virtue. As an army has to follow the leader in order to win, each soldier must submit to his commander instead of his own idea. Even if the commander makes sub-optimal decision, there is strength and safety in number and in unity. The army still can overcome the obstacle better than a disunited army.

Therefore, we all must submit to the leadership. The church members  submit themselves to Christ and to church leaders. The family members submit to the family leader - the husband. Even of the leadership may not always make the best decision, there is strength in unity which is stronger than better decision but act in disunity.
