Relatability in Leadership

The man who lead Israel out of slavery was never a slave.

What qualified Moses to lead Israel was not that he knew what slavery looked like, but that he knew what freedom looked like. He was the only free man in a generation of slaves.

He didn't know where everyone was coming from, he knew where they were going.

If you choose to relate to people by a shared history you will limit your impact. Relating based on a shared future will broaden your influence.

You do not need to experience sin first hand to know how to defeat it. Otherwise Jesus would have been a colossal failure.
