I was reading some of James Dalman’s “Church Branding Stuff” (check it out at brandingshed.com) last week when I stumbled upon this blog about leaders that you don’t want to follow. As leaders, we should frequently analyze our leadership style. I found this blog helpful in reminding me about the leader that I DON’T WANT TO BE… hope you do too.

Here’s the breakdown of the Five Leaders (including the descriptions) that he lists in this blog…

• Glory Hog Leaders: This is the guy who gives himself all the glory and takes credit for the ideas and work of others.  He will stab you in the back at the first opportunity in order to stay in the spotlight.

• Self Serving Leaders: This person serves only her needs and does everything for her own agenda and never in the interest of others.  She is the one who will push you out of the way and jump out the window first in a fire.

• Dirty Diaper Leaders: These leaders are the ones who continually take a dump on others, the process, or the organization and make others clean up their crap time after time.  They refuse to learn from their messes or to be potty trained.

• The Lost Leaders: These are the people in charge who mirror the TV series LOST.  You never know what to expect and every day provides a new twist or surprise.  These are the types who will never be able to leave the island.

• Paper in the Wind Leaders: This person operates much like a piece of paper blowing in the wind…there are continual ups and downs and they go wherever the wind carries them.  These leaders can’t nail down details or a focus and will eventually in up in the dump or a shredder!

What do you think?

Are there other “leaders” that you would add to this list?
