Parshat Vayigash
What does it mean to be a leader?
Yosef resolves the challenging socio-economic dynamics that enable him to navigate the famine emergency with grace and intelligence.
He uses his mind and is quick to make thoughtful decisions that keep order and peace in society while fulfilling the basic physical needs of the people.
What qualities allow Yosef to succeed?
Certainly not an ideal childhood. As a young boy he suffers the passing of his mother, he's an object of hatred of his own brothers, and as a young man is sold into slavery.
Is Yosef a strong leader despite these tragedies or because of them?
And what are those eternal inner qualities that allow us to succeed, no matter what our circumstances?
