MD403 – Gifts and Delegation
COMMUNICATION SKILLS
OBJECTIVE
In any team working together, delegation is crucial. How can you recognise the strengths of yourself and others, and delegate in a way that builds a team and moves you forward towards a common goal?
Thank you Lord for the way you have designed us with complimentary gifts and strengths, so that together we bring together all the skills and abilities needed to build Your kingdom here on earth. Open my eyes to the gifts you have given me and others, and build in me an inherent trust as a leader to delegate to others and give them the space to both fail and succeed – and feel supported in both of these situations! Amen
INTRODUCTION TO GIFTS AND DELEGATION
Delegation isn’t always the easiest thing to do, but when we realise that we all bring unique strengths (and weaknesses!) to the table, we are able to embrace each other more fully.
“The eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you,” nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” On the contrary, the parts of the body which seem to be weaker are indispensable, and those parts of the body which we think less honorable we invest with the greater honor, and our unpresentable parts are treated with greater modesty, which our more presentable parts do not require. But God has so adjusted the body, giving the greater honor to the inferior part, that there may be no discord in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another. If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together.”
1 Cor 12:21-26 RSVCE
