Joseph was a manager, first in the household of Potiphar and then again when he was in charge of grain purchase, storage, and distribution in a time of famine in Egypt. He succeeded in both instances.
Reflect on how specifically Joseph’s responsibilities, obligations, and choices in Potiphar’s household and/or as ‘prime minister’ in Egypt may be similar or different from today’s medium level supervisor or manager. How do you think his faith in his God helped him succeed as he went about his tasks? Are there lessons for us as managers in the modern age?
