Abstract
After a brief synopsis of the biblical leaders not covered in this book, this final chapter offers insights into how modern leaders can develop resilience by reflecting on the practices of ancient leaders. Samson, Esther, and the Apostle John are presented as exemplars of resilient leadership along with a discussion on the servant-leadership nature of Jesus’ and Paul’s ministry. Finally, this chapter summarizes the resilience principles found in the previous chapters, which may serve as the best defense for leadership fatigue and the fallout that comes with ethical and moral failure.
