Group Leaders
The following is taken from the Lessons in Awareness Website and used with permission.
I recommend "A New Earth, Finding Your True Purpose" by Eckhart Tolle as a model for spiritual growth and evaluation of spiritual leaders.
Possibilities for why some leaders do what they do can be explored by examining current literature on cults, narcissism, borderline personality and prophetic charisma. A narcissistic personality lacks empathy and will deny the validity of feedback from others, and a charismatic personality can create intense emotional loyalty to any truth they believe in while obscuring any truth other than their own.
You might examine personality characteristics of leaders who believe they are right to:
M. Scott Peck in the book "People of the Lie? identifies people who will not change no matter what evidence is presented to them of the need to look at their actions. They control and hurt others and will not take responsibility for what they do. This is what Peck calls true evil. With case studies, this book gives a feeling of people who will not allow co-creation, who believe they are right at the cost of others. Once you know what to look for, you never have to give your power to anyone unwilling to co-create with you again.
