On why leadership is so hard Leith Anderson says that,
Perhaps the most commonly rewarded dysfunction is the empowerment of the wrong people. Individuals who would be fired from their jobs or thrown in jail if they exhibited such behavior in the larger community are allowed to threaten, control, and manipulate in the church. Their tactics include claims that "I know a number of people in the church who feel exactly the way I do about this situation." Seldom are they willing to say who the other persons are. This is almost always a sign of lying or manipulation. Healthy people speak for themselves and don't need to enlist an invisible army to back them up. While some are outwardly aggressive and attacking, undermining the church and its leadership more by what they are against than by what they are for.
