The Mordecai Model for Improving Future Outcomes

Afolarin Ogunyinka I 2023

Abstract

This Mordecai Model for Improving Future Outcomes is based on a qualitative exegetical analysis of the Book of Esther in the Bible. The model identifies time-tested Judeo-Christian principles and experiences that relate and align with Strategic Leadership concepts using inner texture analysis. The narrative that drives the model is anchored on insights into how Mordecai inspires and empowers Queen Esther, his adopted daughter to improve the outcome of her people even at the risk of her life. Even though the model is largely inspired by biblical instances and inferences, the concepts and principles presented apply to secular organizations or settings. The model is intended to serve as a leadership development resource for leadership teams, top, and middle management of organizations. The model provides precepts tailored to cultivate healthy and sustainable organizations even in perilous and uncertain times.

The model is a learning management system of five courses premised on five Strategic Leadership competencies. The courses are Ethical Competence, Cultural Agility, Systems Thinking, Communication Proficiency, and Leadership Development Capacity. Each course has a minimum of four lessons. The courses are developed in a way that is easy to understand, and navigate, and taken at the client’s pace. Taking this set of courses will help leaders forge forward in uncertain times even when there is not enough information available. Leaders will learn how Mordecai helped Esther save her people and gain Strategic Leadership insights in the process. The resources in this model include instructional videos, PowerPoint presentations, case studies from scenarios in Belgium, Cuba, and Singapore, and practical assessment exercises.
