Moses was very humble, more than all men who were on the face of the earth.
Numbers 12:3
Leaders can bank on two truths. First, they will be criticized. Unhappy people tend to attack the point person, the leader. Moses’ own family criticized him. Second, criticism always changes the leader.
From Numbers chapter 12, God teaches us the following six responses for handling criticism:
1. Maintain your humility.
2. Face the criticism head on.
3. Be specific about the issues.
4. Lay out consequences.
5. Pray for the criticizers.
6. Restore them when appropriate.
In a subsequent blog, I will lay out a more comprehensive biblical approach for believers to manage criticism.
We will all face criticism as a leader at some point in our lives. Many do on almost a daily basis. Are you currently facing criticism concerning your leadership? How are you doing in responding to the situation?
