If you take a moment to reflect over your leadership skills in the past which way would you lean towards the most Tough Or Tender?  Lets take a look at both and way the pros and cons.

Tough                                                   Tender

Doing right                                            Being real

Confronts destructive problems               Considers diverse perspectives

Demonstrates strength & courage           Demonstrates sensitivity and care

A stickler for results                               A stickler for relationship

Extremely professional                           Extremely Personal

Secure enough to take criticism              Secure enough to serve the critic

Always embraces the responsibility         Rarely enforces the rank of the position

Which are you?? Truth of the matter is every great leader possess both the ability to be tough and tender! Jesus is the perfect example for this.  In Luke 10, you need to be Tender. And he’s saying in Luke 22, you need to be tough. Because in Luke 10, he says to be like a lamb. Can you think of anything more tender than that?  Luke 22, Tough. Supplies, money, timberlands on the ground, Swords on deck , off to conflict, the whole shabang. And there you have it Tough and tender.

"Therefore be imitators of God, copy him and follow his example, as well-beloved children [imitate the father]. EPHESIANS 5:1

As the son of a great man that has left an awesome legacy, i often hear how much i look like, sound like, walk like, etc. etc. so on and so on like my father.  Its not anything that I try to do, it just comes natural because we were always around each other.  If we resemble our earthly parents in the natural, imagine how much more your heavenly father desires us to resemble him!  The more time you spend with God and understand his Word, the more you began to look like him, talk like him, create like him, and live like he lives! Today ask yourself this question, who do i resemble in the spirit?

A vision is the foundation of all leadership. A vision should also require a commitment to act. [2 Cor. 8:10-11 NKJV "And in this i give my advice; it is to your advantage not only to be doing what you began and were desiring to do a year ago; but now you also must complete the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to desire it, so there also may be a completion out of what you have."

The commitment to put action towards the vision is called a mission. In order to complete the mission, you have to set goals.  Seek God for the vision, then its ready, set, goals!!
