  1. Lord it over means to rule or have dominion over someone. Balance is the key word to all three, without the other two types of leadership each one will result in failure. With no one to hold you accountable, one person as a strong leader will soon turn to pride which leades to his fall. I worked for a company that micromanaged for larger corp, this is type is necessary for growth and control. A laissez-faire approach can create an enviroment for creativity as well as laziness. Each type of leadership in its proper proportion and right (Godly) motive will nurture the best part of each type grow and become successful. Each type blended as one will hold capture the weaker, more distructive side allowing the positive side to become the dominate characteristic of each leadership. I believe we call it in the US a check and balance. Although all authority is under God and used by God for his will, we have been disceived by Satan since the Garden of Eden to believe that authority is about the What instead of the Who? Let me explain, Satan deceived Eve into asking the What about the rule that said she should not eat from this one tree. What about the rule that said if I eat of this fruit I will die. After careful consideration Eve decided that the What was not correct or did not make sence so as we know she ate the fruit. Authority is still the same today, it's all about the What and not the Who. The more power you have the harder it is to follow the rules/authority. We tell ourselves these rules don't apply to me. For others if we agree with the what then we follow it, and then there are those who follow the what to stay out of trouble or avoid consequences. The sad part is that we have become so good at looking at the what and deciding it's not for me that we no longer have guilt. Authority is about being obedient to God. So the question should be what are the dangers of not submitting to a strong or weak leadership/authority....disobedience.
