Task Management
More in MxU
Jeff Sandstrom and Dillan Howell focus on task management and the delegation of responsibilities. This emphasizes the importance of moving away from a self-centered approach to leadership. In this approach, the leader should leverage the strength of team members. Effective delegation and task management can lead to personal growth for team members. It also makes for a more efficient, collaborative working environment.
Key Points:
- Effective task management in leadership involves shifting the focus from 'I' to 'we'. It also requires recognizing the importance of teamwork and delegation.
- The concept of control versus growth suggests that leaders can't have both and need to choose growth by delegating tasks.
- Leaders are encouraged to identify and utilize the talents within their team. They should understand that others may perform certain tasks better.
- Training and developing team members to take on tasks helps with task completion and aids in their personal development.
- Leaders are encouraged to recognize tasks that are outside their expertise. They should find team members who are better suited to these tasks. This improves overall team efficiency.
- Serving and contributing to the team is as important as other spiritual disciplines within the church.
