This book captures stories from leaders from various business sectors. In a lighthearted way, through exploring five bad leadership characters, and at times in some heavyhearted ways, this book effectually draws upon history, Scripture, and personal experiences to provide insights into what to avoid or not do if you want to be a great leader. Most leaders have ample opportunities for training to learn and, with the addition of experience, to tell and guide them on what it means to be a good leader. Plenty of excellent books, articles, studies, and videos have been published on how to be a good, effective leader.But what about learning from our experiences of what NOT to do to be an effective, good leader? What if leaders were to consider and value the stories of what to avoid, what not to do, how not to be hated, and how not to destroy a team or organization?Readers of this book will realize they have likely experienced what is captured in its pages, either in part or whole. Take heart. You are not alone in what you have experienced, and rather than engage in a comparison game of whether you have experienced worse situations, this book focuses on learning opportunities from leadership principles and stories. Experience can be a great teacher, even when it is a negative experience. If nothing else, we understand what not to do. Or, when we observe or experience someone in leadership do something destructive, we say and commit to practice that "I will never do that when I lead."

A hundred years ago most people were familiar with the characters and stories contained in the Bible. Today, 2023, the opposite is true. Due to the freedom from social pressure to conform to church attendance a great number of people have little or no interest in those stories and events recorded so long ago in the pages of the Bible. That collection of books has lost credibility, justifiably so, for the majority, who see it as an irrelevancy to today's pressing needs. There is even a natural reluctance to read anything that is connected with the Bible, so if you want to go against a natural reaction be prepared for some surprises and perhaps some new understanding because the Bible is not the irrelevant and anachronistic book that so many people think it is.
