Leaders are not simply born; they are molded through life's victories and failures, triumphs and defeats. No one exemplifies this process better than Moses, the most important and celebrated character in the Hebrew Bible. Faced with great internal and external challenges, he was sculpted into a great leader not only by circumstance, but also by his own determination and devotion to his people.

Cohen relives Moses s development from lonely shepherd to founder of a nation, emphasizing the salient points you can use to enrich the different leadership roles you are called on to play in your daily life, whether it be in business, religion, politics, education or other arenas.
Drawing from Moses s life, you will learn to: Articulate your expectations of others, as a group and as individualsEmpower those around you to lead more responsible, ethical livesSupport your co-workers and family even when they failChallenge others to reach their highest potential"
