Narrative:
Flaps and slats would not move from position #1 after takeoff. After conferring with maintenance; I chose to use my emergency authority/authorized and cycle the trailing edge flap position indicator circuit breaker instead of returning to ord for a flaps 1 degree approach and landing. The flaps and slats then operated normally. We continued on to our destination without further incident. No emergency/urgency was declared. No limits were exceeded.
