What is the first step in effective delegation?
This post was written by Angie Hooie, a member of the INCM Blog team. Show Are there any other Type A personalities out there like me who want all the control? I didn’t think so… (Eyeroll.) I think I can do all the things and that I don’t need any help. I regularly think, “It will take too long to explain what needs to be done, so I’ll just do it.” Can I get an amen from any other leader on this one? I also believe I need to grow in my leadership, and so do you. One way is through delegation. Let’s start with the definition. To delegate is “to entrust to another person, to assign responsibility or authority.” Delegation allows the team members to use their own skills and decision-making in order to support the mission of the ministry. By contrast, micromanaging, which is one person managing every task of every person on a team, takes away the ability of the team member to use their gifts, talents, and specialized skills, and can hinder the work that could be done by many. Because the kingdom depends on the many parts of the body in order to advance, we would be crazy not to delegate to people who have the right skills, abilities, and servant heart to do the work they also are called to. And it’s likely that if we don’t delegate and we don’t ask for help, we will burn out and won’t be able to sustain any ministry at all. What we do is too important to burn out. So how do we delegate, who do we delegate to? Jim Wideman once said, “If you are doing things that others can do, it will keep you from doing what only you can do.” With this in mind, let’s look at eight steps of effective delegation that will help you develop your team.
To be successful and in ministry for the long haul, delegation is not an option. Jesus built a team around him. Moses had a team around him. Build a team around yourself. You are not meant to run this race alone. Give some of it away, and you’ll be able to run farther in ministry together. About AngieAngie has been married for over 21 years, and has 3 kids.
