To delegate because we love God and people, as described in the previous post, requires leaders to not only act intentionally but also constantly examine motivations and means in delegating.
What Does Delegation Done Purposefully Look Like?
1) We make sure we delegate for the right reasons.
2) We work through whatever it is that makes us hesitant to delegate.
3) We view delegation as an opportunity.
4) We develop a process for how to get people involved.
5) We stay the course rather than jumping ship at the first sign of trouble.
These points are included in the Steering the Church Toward God’s Purposes Leadership Guide along with some brief input about each.
