What is Autocratic Leadership?

Autocratic leadership is a style of leadership that is characterized by a single leader who has absolute power and authority over their followers. This type of leadership is often seen in authoritarian regimes and is not typically seen as a desirable form of leadership in the Christian faith. Autocratic leaders are often seen as dictatorial and oppressive, and they often make decisions without consulting their followers.

The Bible and Autocratic Leadership

The Bible does not explicitly condemn autocratic leadership, but it does provide guidance on how leaders should lead. In the book of Proverbs, it states: “When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn” (Proverbs 29:2). This verse suggests that when a righteous leader is in power, the people will be happy, but when a wicked leader is in power, the people will be unhappy. This verse implies that autocratic leadership can be used in a positive way if the leader is righteous and just.

The Bible also provides guidance on how leaders should lead. In the book of Matthew, Jesus says: “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. It shall not be so among you” (Matthew 20:25-26). This verse suggests that leaders should not lord it over their followers, but rather should serve them. This implies that autocratic leadership should not be used in a way that is oppressive or dictatorial.
