6 Danger Signs of Unhealthy Leadership

4. When a leader has to criticize others to legitimize his or her work.

If an idea or vision is a valid one, it will stand-alone without putting down someone else.

5. When a leader can’t follow.

When a leader is not a good follower, it is a major sign that they may be immature in their leadership. It is a major hypocrisy to ask people to trust and follow you and you are not able to do that well.

6. When there is no Nathan in the leader’s life.

When a leader doesn’t have someone around them to point out when they are leading out of selfishness or emotion, then there is problem. When there is no one to point out our sins as leaders, we run the risk of going astray. We all sin daily and how a leader’s sin addressed is a big question that needs to be answered. We don’t want leaders being overly criticized and scrutinized for every little thing, but we should have assurance that someone can speak truth into our lives.

Leaders make decisions everyday that affect the lives of many people. This list should be a reminder that our jobs are important and that we should be constantly working to improve ourselves.
