EXCELLENCE STARTS AT THE TOP
Ex.40:16
Moses set an excellent example for his workforce by doing his own job according to all that the Lord had commanded him (Ex. 40:16). That kind of precision set the pace for everyone else and reaped invaluable rewards.
For example, the management team for the construction of the tabernacle emulated Moses example by performing their tasks with wisdom and understanding, in knowledge and all manner of workmanship, so that they completed the project according to all that the Lord had commanded (35:3031, 35; 36:1). Likewise, all of the workers under them carried out their tasks as the Lord had commanded (39:1, 5, 7, 21, 26, 29, 3132, 43).
Excellence in Israel began with Moses. It spread to the group of managers helping to supervise and coordinate the project. Then the workers followed suit. Do you model excellence and quality for others at your job?
