On the other hand we’ve had Baptist friends whose churches became embroiled in very bitter, divisive knock-down battles over whether to fire or hire a pastor.

The Catholic Church gets this right in principle, and usually right in practice. Moving the pastor as a normal matter of course prevents the cult of personality forming, and eliminates any stigma that might be associated with being transferred. The hierarchical decision-making also prevents the acrimony within the community.
