When Leaders Make Mistakes

By Oluwagbemiga Olowosoyo

There are many materials that have been written to train leaders but I have not seen any that tells you what to do when your leader makes mistake. No wonder, most subordinates are destroyed for lack of knowledge.
I guess our teachers assumed that leaders don’t make mistakes. After all, they are full of the Holy Spirit and the presence of God is with them.
But even in the Bible there are many leaders who made mistakes.
Anyhow, we can’t blame our teachers. They were the same leaders. And in fairness, they could not be preparing to make mistakes.
However, there are several great potentials that have been destroyed for lack of knowledge. Some are in redeemable situations and I trust God to use this small book to pull them back to the track.
In essence therefore, the main focus of this book is to show you what to do when leaders make mistake.

Chapter 1 – Leaders do make mistakes

Obey those who rule over you, and be submissive, for they watch out for your souls, as those who must give account. Let them do so with joy and not with grief, for that would be unprofitable for you.

Hebrews 13:17

Recently, the Lord gave me this message and explained to me that it is one of the worst problems in the church. I believe it is meant for every believer.

God might have given this message because some of you are handling similar situations.

He could be giving the message to prepare you for events coming up later.

Better still, He might want you to correct some errors you have made in the past.

Around 1987 I was in a leadership position under a leader and I led a rebellion when our leader fell into sin. As a matter of fact, I became a whip to him, in an attempt to cleanse God’s image.

What I did not understand was that God does not need me to punish His servant. And it cost me dearly. But thank God, He found me out and restored me after a number of years.

Then it dawned on me that there are many materials that have been written to train leaders but I have not seen any that tells you what to do when your leader makes mistake.
