The best leaders are both goal-oriented and people-oriented. (Numbers 27:15-17)

Numbers 27:15-17

New Living Translation (NLT)

¹⁵ Then Moses said to the Lord, ¹⁶ “O Lord, you are the God who gives breath to all creatures. Please appoint a new man as leader for the community. ¹⁷ Give them someone who will guide them wherever they go and will lead them into battle, so the community of the Lord will not be like sheep without a shepherd.”

Moses asked God to appoint a leader who was capable of directing both external and internal affairs - one who could lead them into battle, but who would also care for their needs. The Lord responded by appointing Joshua. Many people want to be know as leaders. Some are very capable of reaching their goals, while others care deeply for the people in their charge. The best leaders are both goal-oriented and people-oriented.
