3 leadership lessons from a legend

Someone once said that Moses — of biblical fame — lived 40 years thinking he was SOMEBODY followed by 40 years discovering he was NOBODY. He finally spent his final 40 years learning how God can use SOMEBODY who is a NOBODY.

Three vital lessons in leadership learned by Moses that are transferable to us today:

  • Humility is needed to have a positive impact on followers.
  • Dependence upon God is required if your goals are godly.
  • A difficult journey gets easier when we yield to God’s directions.
