The Top Ten Leadership Commandments
Ebook
Overview
Based on the life and legacy of Moses, Hans presents ten scriptural principles that can revolutionize your business, your ministry, even your life. The life of Moses provides a master study on what it means to be an effective leader. Consider his pedigree: Answered the call to do something beyond his means; stood his ground before kings; led millions of people on a journey across rivers and through deserts. Moses did this all with a dogged persistence that would not give up. You will discover a dynamic, effective tool for developing leadership skills, all built on the solid foundation of God’s word.
- Addresses not just what leaders do, but who they are.
- Presents each commandment with real-world examples, actionable advice, and clear steps for implementation.
- Argues that while leadership styles may change, the core truths about effective and ethical leadership remain constant.

I highly recommend you read this fresh look at leadership lessons from the life of Moses that set him apart as one of the greatest leaders in all of history. This hero of the Bible was used by God to deliver a nation. Learn how a reluctant leader survived and succeeded in one of history’s greatest leadership challenges: taking his people from bondage in Egypt to the door of the Promised Land. Not just classroom theory, these chapters are filled with practical applications for twenty-first-century leaders based on the story of Moses applied to the decades of leadership experienced by Dr. Finzel.

Burnout. Social media exhaustion. Personal life meltdowns. Ego drunkenness. There are countless pitfalls surrounding modern leadership. This book shows you how to face them, avoid them, and ultimately beat them with a God who wants healthy, whole leaders.
—Jon Acuff, Wall Street Journal best-selling author of Quitter: Closing the Gap between Your Day Job & Your Dream Job
Whenever my friend Hans Finzel writes or speaks about leadership, he has my full attention. His insights are compelling because they are grounded in truth, tested by experience, and on full display in and through his life and ministry.
—Dr. Crawford W. Loritts, Jr., author, speaker, radio host, and senior pastor of Fellowship Bible Church in Roswell, GA
