Assessment has to be around concrete goals and not personalities, and has to be practiced cautiously. I don't think that anyone can answer your question, though, because there isn't enough practice of assessment in congregations. So I'll remain measured in expectations but hopeful that more of it will happen in a healthy way! Rabbi K–this is a fair question.
