Wow! This article certainly brought me a boatload of memories from all the employment opportunities that I have been so blessed to experience in my lifetime! Father God has sure been good to me!!
From my first job as a teenager, down through the years until more recently, hold so many memories of many, many different management styles. Some with phenomenal management, others,.... well, not so good.
The ones I grew the best in maturity level and knowledge were definitely the ones who knew when to be available if I needed them, and when to give me space to find my own way.
The places that had the greatest turnover rates where managed by those who wanted to dictate every minute detail of our lives.
I, personally, have been from the lowest seniority to the lead charge nurse, where I had to learn what style worked best for me. Knowing both those above, those alongside, and those under me in management & who can I trust to handle delegation and know things will be done appropriately was pivotal! I've delegated to untrustworthy employees who are there for a title and a paycheck, and to those who are hungry to grow in their talents and gifts & expand their knowledge base.
It is certainly a broad topic & one we could all talk about extensively, I'm sure.
Thank you for your thoughts, Pastor. It was interesting.
Great testimony. Delegating would be my biggest challenge as well. The desire to control would handcuff me! Lol! It just struck me; Jesus is the ultimate delegator! He returned to heaven and has delegated His kingdom to His believers.
Wow that’s so good! I’m looking forward to learning your lesson for myself!!
This line…”Sometimes we think we’re indispensable, but by clinging to that belief, we can end up holding others back from the roles God has for them.”
I love that! What a new way to consider as God takes my husband and I into leadership. We are all a thread in the gigantic afghan God is creating and we each have our roles to play. We are indispensable to God, but He doesn’t need us to do the roles He created others to do.
This one I’m going to be thinking on for sure. I’m grateful you are one of my leaders Pastor Jon.

And once again the BIG take away for me is to TRUST GOD!
I often find myself carrying the weight that I wasn't meant to carry.
Once I realize that, and surrender the situation to God, I'm able to allow Him to lead, trust Him and then peace will follow.
So grateful for this word. Thank you PJon!
