Delegating Authority: Principles for Experienced Leaders - Ross Hendry

An integral part of being human and made in God’s image is to be stewards over creation. The idea of God creating us to be stewards reminds us that the Father is happy to delegate to us – indeed He rejoices in seeing us partner Him and take on the task of being fruitful in our work. The implication is that as image bearers we too should be willing to delegate; not just willing, but delight in seeing others flourish with the responsibility and objectives we give them. Delegation is also part of sustainable stewardship – it is not just that we should not, but we cannot do everything ourselves. In this talk we look at the application of biblical teaching on responsibility, accountability, subsidiarity, generosity, and sovereignty as the basis of delegating power to empower you as a leader and others in their God given roles.
