Faithful Followers: A Response to “When Leadership Goes Wrong: Self-Serving Shepherds and Their Followers”

Abstract

In his article, “When Leadership Goes Wrong: Self-Serving Shepherds and Their Followers,” Dr. Kent Seibert seeks to find appropriate responses for the Christian who is led by a self-serving, and even abusive, leader. The author proposes a number of responses available to organizations and followers with reference to biblical principles. This response provides a critique of Seibert’s article and attempts to provide a framework for selecting between his proposed solutions.
