Moses’ Success as a Leader
Moses was born into a privileged family, but he was raised by an Egyptian princess, making him a prince of Egypt. Despite his royal upbringing, Moses was humble and aware of his own limitations. When he was called by God to lead the Israelites out of slavery, Moses was hesitant and questioned his ability to do so. He felt inadequate and unworthy, saying “O Lord, I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue” (Exodus 4:10).
Moses’ humility was a key factor in his success as a leader. Here are a few reasons why:
Moses’ humility allowed him to be authentic and transparent. He didn’t try to present himself as someone he wasn’t or pretend to have abilities he didn’t possess. This authenticity earned him the respect and trust of his people.
Moses recognized that he couldn’t do everything alone. He delegated tasks and relied on others, acknowledging that he needed their help and expertise. This collaborative approach built strong relationships and a sense of unity among the Israelites.
Moses’ humility allowed him to learn from his mistakes and grow as a leader. He didn’t become arrogant or complacent, but instead continued to seek God’s guidance and wisdom.
Moses’ story is a powerful reminder of the importance of humility in leadership. His humility allowed him to be authentic, collaborate with others, inspire obedience, and promote growth. As we seek to lead others effectively, we would do well to follow Moses’ example and cultivate our own humility.
By recognizing our limitations, seeking God’s guidance, collaborating with others, and practicing authenticity, we can become leaders who inspire others and bring glory to God.
