Jesus on Leadership, Principle Six

I'm drawing to a close on Jesus on Leadership by Gene Wilkes. I have only one principle to go after my entry today. Principle six is to, Share Responsibility and Authority.

This is a very important concept. There is only so much work that one person can do. If he trains someone, then that person trains someone, and so on... The project all of a sudden does not seem so big that you are trying to accomplish.

The jist of this chapter is to find a person in whom you can trust, and then invest in them. It is your job as a leader to equip those people that you are leading so that they can in turn do those things in which God has called them to do.

We should strive to know their talents, abilities, and giftedness so that we can help them to grow in their walk with the Lord. The better that we know them, the more that we should be able to aid them.

A wise leader will train and invest in people.
