Delegating responsibility involves five elements: setting expectations, providing direction, allowing for creativity, negotiating deadlines, checking on results and rewarding performance. Don’t be threatened by the ability and availability others. Enlist them to build your team.<\/p>\n
<\/strong>The people who play team sports in your organization are those who need your applause. Most often, we applaud the obvious standouts—musicians or teachers in church, sales or production leaders in business; but every team needs people with a variety of skills. If you honor only the shot takers but never the shot makers, you’re team will not thrive. Whom you applaud you empower.<\/p>\n
When people are trained and commissioned for a task but not given adequate support, they may complete their assignment—late, below expectations or with a poor attitude—but when a person is offered the training and resources needed to succeed, he or she will feel part of the team. When you delegate, ask, “What do you need?” You’ll gain a long-term contributor.<\/p>\n
<\/strong>People are motivated by a variety of things: money, guilt and recognition to name a few. The best motivator is the unseen one—the eternal value of what you are doing. Always point that out. Volunteers are not merely setting up chairs; they’re serving Christ’s church. Employees aren’t just selling a product; they’re enhancing the lives of people.<\/p>\n
<\/strong>If you don’t care whether your team wins, there’s no need to keep score. If you’re interested in success, you’ll need to evaluate performance. Did we reach our goal? What could have been done better? How will we avoid making the same mistake next time? What can I do to improve results? Ask these questions often.<\/p>\n
<\/strong>When your team has a victory, celebrate! Point out the contributions of each member. Let them know how important they are to the whole. Never let a milestone pass unnoticed. Find a reason to cheer; it will energize your team.<\/p>\n
