Abstract

Moses experienced several trigger moments (Avolio, 2005) that developed him as an authentic leader. Through an examination of key events in Moses’s life, we can observe God’s emphasis on development of authentic leadership values. The selected passages provide the scholar with detailed conversations that occurred as God called Moses to lead the Hebrews out of Egyptian slavery and as Jethro mentored Moses in leadership skills. Through these intimate exchanges, Moses is motivated to shift his perspective, a necessary step to his development to lead the Hebrew children out of Egyptian slavery and prepare them for the Promised Land.
