Jesus gives us an idea of what terrible leadership looks like in Matthew 23:1-12 when he talks to a crowd and His disciples.
Here are four ways to be a terrible leader and hurt the people you lead:
Instead of serving the people you lead, put too much pressure and weight on the people, while you don't do what you are supposed to do as a leader.
2. Do things just to be noticed by people.
Instead of doing things out of a pure heart to glorify God, do things so that people around you can notice you, praise you and give you accolades!
3. Be obsessed about your "title".
Instead of gaining influence by the level of trust the people have in you, influence then by throwing around your authority and title. Always make sure that people call and address you by your title. Take yourself seriously all the time.
4. Exalt yourself.
Instead of humbling yourself under the might hand of God, exalt yourself for who you are and what you do!
Do these four things and you will definitely ruin your chances of being a great leader.
