Perry Noble did a blog series recently on 5 Leadership Styles that Always Lose. Here's a clip from #5 - The Fearful Leader

"When a leader allows fear to control him…the people he leads ALWAYS lose.

• Fear forces a leader to embrace the “way things are” rather than how they should be.
• Fear causes a leader to think more about what they have to lose rather than what the Kingdom has to gain.
• Fear makes a person depend on their power and ability rather than God’s.
• Fear leads to impulsive and unwise decisions rather than prayed through and processed ones."
