Through sound exegetical methodologies and the current research on organizational leadership, this book uses biblical examples to explore the realities of leadership fatigue. Addressing topics such as stress, crisis, and pressures in leadership, this book offers biblical principles in each chapter that practically connect theory with application. The chapters explore topics such as leadership transitions, the value of followership, crisis management, and leadership in large organizations. Using contemporary organizational leadership research, grounded in biblical theology, this book will appeal to those studying leadership, organizational behavior, and human resource management.
