Moses, Leadership and You

Hope for Reluctant Leaders

It may not be widely known, but if one understands deeply - Moses was a reluctant leader. He was not someone who readily volunteered for what God wanted him to do. Moses was worried what he would do in the face of obstacles along the way.

Me, A Leader??

If we are to learn something from Moses' story, it is his faith in God. God will not give us problems that are beyond us to solve - sounds like cliche, but remains to be true. God will equip us with the strength and courage to succeed. We only have to learn to trust in Him and let Him work in us.

Sometimes, we are put in leadership positions - even without our doing. We may not have planned to become leaders in our field, yet somehow, we find ourselves in leadership positions. We may try to shift on a different career, yet we still find ourselves leading people. What are we to do?

Complete Surrender

I urge you to surrender - like me, I surrendered - I surrendered to the will of God that is. If it be my destiny to lead, so let it be. I just take it that there is something that God wants for me to do. It may not be for me - but it may be something that will bring good to others. God may be wanting me to work on His behalf - and make a positive impact on other people's lives.

Taking the Bold Step

If we are to live our lives fully, we must do so as what God has planned for us. If it be for leadership positions, then let us be the best leader we can be. We may not be as impressive and as famous as our idols - but we can always work with what we have. We don't have to be what we are not. We should be true to ourselves - and find our own leadership style.

Leadership as an Art

Let us stick to who we are - and let our leadership styles be consistent with this. If we can't be like Jack Welch - then be contented with being you. There are different leadership styles - and you can only be successful if you know what type of leader you are.
