Enemies To Leadership: The Complexities of Leadership & Lessons Learned

Kaenean T. Warren | 2020

Abstract

Leadership is an honor and a privilege. However, it comes with many challenges and complexities. Many people look from the outside and covet the position. However, true leadership comes from the inside. It is a self-less and self-sacrificing role. Yet, leadership is a full-filling role to serve others. When God calls and chooses one to lead then expect enemies to show up on the scene. Leaders have many enemies and then there is the enemy: Satan. Thus, enemies against leadership come in many forms. The Bible provides many stories of those who came against leadership. In this book I discuss the spirit of those characters in reference to their behavior and actions not the actual person. However, every challenging person is not necessarily an enemy. There are times a leader may be facing personality and character differences, sociocultural, and psychological issues such as emotional intelligence. The Bible gives us a blueprint for detecting and managing our enemies. As such, a leader’s ability to recognize and overcome enemies is the purpose and goal of this book for leaders and leadership.
