With the sudden and devastating passing of Rabbi Moshe Hauer, I want to share one story of him:
The last time I was with Rabbi Moshe Hauer, President of the Orthodox Union, was at the White House in May.
He listened patiently as I was rambling about some silly political matter.
Afterward, he looked me in the eyes and asked me one question:
"Shabbos, are you learning learning enough Torah? Can I help you find a study partner?"
We were on the White House lawn about to hear from Trump and his only concern was whether Jews were connecting to their Judaism!
That's the kind of man he was.
I know for a fact he asked other young people similar questions.
He cared so intimately about the students on campus in a way few others did.
Rabbi Hauer's sudden passing is so painful.
Yes, the Jewish People just lost a leader, obviously, but young people just lost a friend and mentor.
יהי זכרון ברוך

Kobe Bryant said, “If you’re going to be a leader, you’re not going to please everybody. You gotta hold people accountable even if you have that moment of being uncomfortable.”
Great leaders don't try to please everyone.
Great leaders know that it isn't their title or position, it is about their behavior.
Leadership means doing more.
Great leaders connect and influence.
Leadership is about your actions - how you set an example, how you interact with others, and how you create a standard for performance.
7 Leadership Competencies Everyone Needs:
1. Build relationships - It starts with connection and caring. Building relationships allows you, as a leader, to establish trust, foster collaboration, and create a positive work environment where teamwork thrives.
2. Create accountability - Leaders set the standard. Creating accountability empowers you to ensure individuals take ownership of their actions, promoting responsibility and driving performance for the overall success of the team and organization.
3. Drive Change - Leadership is about coping and creating change. It enables you to navigate and adapt to evolving environments, inspire innovation, and strategically guide people towards growth and improvement.
4. Develop People - Great leaders develop others. They focus on nurturing talent, empowering others, and fostering a culture of continuous learning and professional growth within the organization under your leadership.
5. Communicate effectively - Communication is the real work of leadership. It allows you to articulate a clear vision, inspire and motivate others, and build strong relationships with stakeholders, enhancing organizational alignment and success.
6. Think Critically - It involves analyzing complex situations, making informed decisions, and solving problems effectively, enabling you to navigate challenges and drive strategic outcomes.
7. Inspire others - It involves motivating and influencing individuals, aligning their efforts towards a shared vision, and creating a sense of purpose and engagement within the team under your leadership, resulting in increased productivity and success.
