Learn to Delegate
Only secure people give power to others. Leaders that do not delegate soon burn or wear out and they cripple their efforts to touch people with the gospel. As a leader of others we not only have to learn to delegate but we also have to teach those that we have raised up as leaders to do the same.
Why do most leaders struggle to delegate?
· We assume no one else wants to help (but in reality that’s not true)
· We think it’s easier to do it ourselves than train someone (at first that’s true)
· We want it done right (at first others may not do as well as you – train them)
· Insecurities (how will look if they fail, or what if they do it better?)
4 things to delegate.
· Things that other can do better than you
· Things that others can do 80% as well as you
· Things someone else can do that would free up time for you
· Things than can be done less expensive by others
· Things that can be done more timely by others
If you feeling a bit overwhelmed today with all the “stuff” you need to do maybe it’s time to begin delegating so you can regain your life. Remember Jesus said my yoke is easy and mu burden is light.
