Acts 6:1-7 - The Choosing of the Seven.
- “Dealing Decent Delegation”.
- Passing on your authority is an important skill required by leaders.
- Delegation is not abdication.
- Here the Apostles begin to pass on the authority they have received from Jesus.
- Here are my tips for Biblical delegation based on this passage:
- v1 - The necessity for delegation is a product of & should produce growth
- v2 - Communicate to the whole! Not just to those you delegate to.
- v3 - Release into something of obvious value to all.
- v4 - Know what only you can do & do that as your primary responsibility.
- v5 - Your decision needs to appeal to the main influencers
- v7 - It should lead to new fruit. Give whole tasks - so people can look at something & feel as though they’ve accomplished something
- v8 - Once you delegate do not box in - they may grow ‘bigger’ than you, more popular. Watch your insecurities. Set parameters.
- Remember: a barrier to delegation the need to be needed
- Praying today that I will continue to grow in this area and for my leaders to do the same.
