6 Surprising Leadership Principles from the Bible

One day, I decided to embark on a new kind of Bible study. I would purposefully travel through the whole of Scripture looking for one fresh leadership principle in every book, and I would record them as I went.

At the end of the study, God indeed rewarded me with a treasure trove of concepts for leaders who are challenged by criticism, anger, people-problems, negativity, pride and many other issues. Here are my top six discoveries that have made the biggest difference in my daily work.
