Happy Easter! After a weekend of celebrating the miracle of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, we explore 2 of Jesus's many leadership qualities. 

One of the most significant challenges leader's face is the constant tension between work and personal life. Did I accomplish enough today? Am I spending enough time with my family? Will I miss dinner again? Will I get a chance to see the kids before they go to bed? When's the last time we got away to enjoy our marriage? These questions are haunting for the busy executive. If I asked your spouse who gets more of your attention, would he/she say your work? What would your kids say? The world's standards for great leadership don't seem to include a solid marriage and family.

Let's talk about what extraordinary leadership looks like in terms of the tension between work and family.
