Abstract
Leadership conflict has been an age long challenge to humanity. From
biblical records it started between God and Satan (Isaiah 14:12-14). Satan
wanted to topple God’s administration in heaven. Thus, he rebelled against
the leadership of God with some angels we referred to as demons.
Leadership is consider as exercising control over someone or thing. Human
beings generally love to exercise control over fellow man or resource.
Behind conflict in most societies in the world is the desire to control.
People aspire into leadership positions today because of a strong desire to
control human and material resources.
