5 Levels of Delegation

---Manager’s Tim

e---

Delegation Approaches Delegation is a basic leader multiplier (Exodus 18) Activity increases to delegatee as you move up Almost always start at level 3 (or safe level) Goal is to focus on moving to higher levels…though

sometimes you need to drop a level A person can have different levels for different activities A BDA (before / during / after) list helps in many ways Communicate expectations (outcomes) not activities

(tactics) Be clear with level, support and expectations Speak in terms of the model ( “you are a level 4 here” ) Follow-up builds support, accountability

and recognition (celebrate!)

Before – During - After

LifeGroup Hosts - B-D-A ListObjectives•Provide an environment that builds connections with the group•Lead them to a stronger personal relationship with Christ•Observe visible “fruit” from the life-change nurtured in the group

Matthew 25 Cards• Give’m to any ministry leader… often!• Be specific on what you are recognizing (vision,

values, roadmap, Blast, etc.)• It truly is better to give than receive• Carry them with you to complete during those

“slow” moments• Give them to the person or place them in their

mail slot (what a great surprise)• Bring the one’s you have received to the Staff or

MLT meeting to be a part of the raffle • If you don’t get a card it doesn‘t mean you aren’t

appreciated. It takes awhile to get the habit started
