Moses was a 360 Degree Leader

The Israelites then went and did what God had commanded Moses and Aaron. They did it all. Exodus 12:28 The story of Moses leading the people of Israel out of Egypt is a vivid illustration of a 360 degree leader. He had a position, growing up in Pharaoh’s palace, yet he gave it up to become a shepherd in the wilderness for forty years. He returned with no title or position, and had to convince Pharaoh to free his entire slave population. And he had to convince the Jews he was worth following. Moses had no experience or credibility with them. He had to depend on influencing through things other than position. Moses leaned on the following virtues: 1. His connection with God – His personal meeting with God at Mount Horeb. 2. His abilities and anointing – God confirmed his words with plagues and miracles. 3. His sacrifice – He left his earlier position in order to fulfill a difficult calling. 4. His wisdom – He knew what to do and where to go as he gave instructions. 5. His confidence – He had convictions about his task. 6. His humility – He was considered the most humble leader of his time. Do you rely more on your position or your virtues when leading (influencing) other? I’d love to talk to you personally.
