Acts 6

One of the problems the Jewish leaders had was that they were so steeped in tradition, that they could or would not hear and heed new revelaton.

During His ministry, the Savior organized His Church with apostles and prophets, being lead by Peter, James, as John - an apparent presidency. As it is recorded multiple times that these brethren were filled with the Holy Ghost, it is apparent that they were receiving continual revelation of the Lord's will concerning the administration of His Church. At a time when -

"...the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration." (New Testament | Acts 6:1)

This left these brethren with a dilemma of what to do having been commissioned to preach the gospel to all nations. They pondered -

"It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables." (New Testament | Acts 6:2)

And then, by revelation and guidance, deviating what some may consider traditional organization, they proposed -

"...brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.
4 But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word." (New Testament | Acts 6:3 - 4)

In this manner to work continued. We witness much the same process throughout the early organization of the modern Church providing more and more leadership and growth opportunities for its members.

A brief review of the establishment of the Relief Society, Primary, Young Women, and Young Men auxilaries and their relationship to the priesthood and the work, followed much the same pattern. "Line upon line and precept upon precept" as needs arose.
