Overcoming the Dark Side of
Leadership: How to Become an
Effective Leader by Confronting
Potential Failures by Samuel D. Rima
Confronting Latent Failures While Becoming An Effective Leader
The Christian world has been rocked by the number of prominent leaders,
in both church and parachurch organizations, who have been
compromised by moral, ethical, and theological failures. This pace-setting
volume addresses this alarming problem and offers Christian leaders
valuable guidance in dealing with the inherent risks of their work. Using
biblical and current examples, the authors describe the characteristics of
five types of leaders and the problems that are most likely to develop if
their particular dysfunctions develop unrestrained. McIntosh and Rima
offer a series of steps for leaders to consider so they can take control of
their dark side and learn to harness its creative powers. This edition
includes a new introduction, updated information throughout, a self-

assessment tool, and other additional material. Includes endorsements
from John Maxwell, Leighton Ford, Leith Anderson, and Rob Angel.
Personal Review: Overcoming the Dark Side of Leadership:
How to Become an Effective Leader by Confronting Potential
Failures by Samuel D. Rima
In this revised edition of "Overcoming the Dark Side of Leadership"
authors, Gary McIntosh and Samuel Rima reflect on what they have
experienced and observed in Christian leadership during the ten years
since the first edition was first published. Gary and Sam both share from
the conflict in their own personal experiences which brought them to a
place of recognizing their personal dysfunction and the importance of
taking proactive steps in their journey of self discovery, healing and
fulfillment..
Part one of the book helps the reader understand more fully what the dark
side of personality is and how it develops. Part two deals with discovery of
the dark side of leadership the reader may be dealing with personally. Part
three discusses overcoming the dark side and offers a five-step plan for
accomplishing this.
Additional chapters have been included to cover topics such as: The
dangers of the dark side, and the process of spiritual composting. The
appendix has been expanded by adding a section to help the reader
identify their dark side.
Examples from the failures of Biblical and contemporary Christian leaders
are used to illustrate various dysfunctions in the leadership styles of the
compulsive leader, the narcissistic leader, the paranoid leader, the
codependent leader, and the passive-aggressive leader.
I found the "targeting insights," and "applying insights" featured at the end
of each chapter to be practical and helpful tools for self discovery.
This edition of "Overcoming the Dark Side of Leadership" has a new
subtitle which offers new help to the reader, "How to Become an Effective
Leader by Confronting Potential Failures. By melding relevant and
significant information with proactive steps for today's Christian leaders,
Gary L. McIntosh and Samuel D. Rima help their readers avoid the risks
and consequences of making untimely devastating decisions that would
taint the effectiveness of their personal testimony and the reputations of
the Christian church.
