    Another thing worth mentioning is making the followers feel unique in some way, manipulation. Without the followers even thinking about that too.

    Whenever a leader claims that “God is on our side!” this is, by definition, an unrealistic exchange (how can a leader know that?)

    A wonderful quote by Abraham Lincoln, a good leader, is “my concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God's side.”

    LOVE THAT QUOTE BY ABE LINCOLN❤❤
