Delegation, Empowerment, and Followup

My Specific Action Plan in being able to more fully be able to develop as a leaders in the five core dimensions of empowerment within my area is going to focus on team work. Since I can remember, I have been one who feels that I can do everything by myself and have done little to develop a way to work with a team. However, I feel that I can improve my team abilities by focusing on three major activities.

 My first activity is centered on personal prayer and empathetic listening. By praying fervently for the ability to be more charitable and understanding of others and by personally focusing on things that I am told and things that I learn in conversations I feel will help me to know who I can trust with various responsibilities. This action will also enable me to be able to more fully know my own limits, to not put on a facade that I know things that I do not to those who know more than I know.

My second activity is to always seek help from individuals and give them responsibility that builds their confidence in me and in the program they are assisting. This can be accomplished by putting consistent effort in into thinking about what others can do to help me. To avoid complacency, I will continue to work at the level I work, yet involve others.

My last activity of focus is to ask for continual feedback from my area on how I am doing in allowing individuals to help. By consistently, at least once a week, asking those who associate with me what I can do to be better at delegation in activities where my expertise are not vibrant.

-Self- Efficacy (Competence)
I will become more aware of what I am supposed to do and execute my responsibilities.
-Self- Determination (Choice)
I will always be where I am supposed to be and choose to do the work that I have been asked to do.
-Personal Consequence (Impact)
I will seek to make an impact in the lives of others by being the kind of person that attracts others.
-Meaningfulness (Value)
I will focus on giving a quality effort in all things and seek to make every effort purposeful in the lives of others
-Trust (Security)
