Pirkei D’Rav Eliezer quotes Rav Levi: The staff was created at dusk/twilight & given to Adam in Gan Eden. Adam then gave it to Chanoch & it passed over to Noach, Shem, Avraham, Yitzchak & Yakov. Yakov took it to Egypt & he gave it to Yosef. When Yosef died, his house was looted & the staff was brought to Paro. Yitro, one of Paro’s advisors, took the staff & "planted" it in his garden. No one could extract it until Moshe finally did, prompting Yitro to recognize Moshe's greatness & give him Tzipora as a wife. Some say "D’tzach Adash B’Achav" (the initials of the 10 plagues) were inscribed on the staff; others say it was the ineffable name of G-d. Some hold this was the same rod which Aharon used that miraculously blossomed (see Bamidbar 17:23) & would later be placed in the Mishkan near the Aron); others say the staff was eventually sliced into 12 parts that were given to the heads of each Shevet. One thing is clear: A leader is only as great as his staff!
