Outline for MFM Devotional Today 6 November 2022
It is now clear that the skill of effective delegation, an essential tool for successful leadership, can be learnt. Therefore, today, we will continue our discourse on how to become an effective delegator. The third step is to motivate and encourage the people you delegate responsibilities to. Give them the credit, affirmation and incentive for their good suggestions, ideas, initiatives, innovation, and commitment to the tasks.
You should do this as you evaluate their performance at different stages of the task or project. This is one great way leaders positively influence and motivate their team. However, do not overdo it and be sincere about it. Expressions like, “that’s pretty good” or “you’re really improving” can move mountains. The Scriptures underscore this point on motivation when it says, in 1 Thessalonians 5:11, “Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing (NKJV) and in Hebrews 10:24, “And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works.”
The fourth step is that you must stay on top of things. The fact that you have delegated does not mean you should abandon your oversight role. Get regular reports, encourage your team members to adhere to timelines for completion of tasks, hold meetings for review and assessment of work as well as progress made, and hold people accountable. The Scriptures reveal instances where oversight and accountability were demanded from leaders.
In the Old Testament, God made Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest the chief over the chief of the Levites, and gave him oversight of them that keep charge of the sanctuary (Numbers 3:32). Similarly, Acts 20:28 says, “Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over which the Holy Spirit hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.”
