Leader in Training
Joshua had assisted Moses in leadership for many many years before Moses died. He was trained and prepared well to take over the leadership of the Nation and lead God’s people into the Promised Land.
Changes in leadership will happen within our workplaces. Over the many many years of our careers, Heather and I have watched leaders get promoted, change positions, retire, or move on to new companies. Operations can be disrupted if we are not consistently looking to who our next leaders will be and preparing them for their new positions.
The life of Moses in the Bible is a great example of an effective leader and preparation. He had the attitude of who is next to lead and listened to God to train up Joshua. #getinprayer
If you are in any type of leadership position, always be preparing someone to take your place. Lead by example with teaching the ways of the company, your position, and encouraging the next potential leader.
Side note: We really are not that important in any position and can be replaced – always remember this! #Moses #loseyourpride
If we prepare… then when you are promoted, move positions, retire, or move to another company…operations can and will run smoothly and efficiently with the new trained leader. Moses was a perfect example of this leadership in-training way of leading with Joshua.
If you are not a leader but have a desire to be a leader within your workplace, start learning from others like Joshua did from Moses, so you are prepared when the opportunity comes!
As Heather and I always say and firmly believe…what we need to “lead” is all in the Bible!
We love you!
