Week #9

This week is titled "Disciple Leadership".  What hit me most this week was going through the readings made me think about my calling.  In the readings, I read about delegation and how much of the world nowadays is not full of "go-getters".  There are many who will ask a million questions if asked to complete a task, so we will want to do it ourselves instead of constantly asking and answering more questions in order to get a task completed.  It sure would be faster and simpler for us to complete it ourselves.  But does that allow for growth in the "employee" or the company?  As I compared this to my calling in Primary, I realize that my hardship with delegation and trying to do everything on my own does not allow anyone else to grow as leaders or within the ward and church.  I am possibly stunting the spiritual growth of the children and leaders, and possibly even myself.   In “Leadership with a Small “L”” by Pres. Clark, I recall reading this when I started Pathway last year.  I thought it was very interesting at that time and yet it still is wonderful today.  The principles he teaches are: Lead by example, Lead with vision, and lead with love.  I know if I follow these principles I can be a good leader in business and in other areas of my life.
