In this episode, Joel and Casey Johnson talk about how to discern and navigate manipulative leadership.

A master manipulator can be so magnetic the people unknowingly submit their sense of security to that person, relinquishing there God-given responsibility to govern their own lives, to a spiritous figure who says to them, "trust me, do what I say and everything will be fine."

But Sadly...

Controlling, bully-type personalities are often secretly afraid, according to enneagram experts, Russ Hudson and Don Risso. They go on to explain that many maipulators and abusers encountered sever abuse as a child and subconsciously believe people are out to get them.

They see no dissonance posing as the righteous hero, all the while lying, cheating and deceiving to protect themselves and their empire.
