DECEMBER 27– A MUST- ACCOUNTABILITY

 Then the followers whom Jesus had sent out returned, and reported back to Him all the work they had done… (Luke 9:10)

                    Good leaders don’t hover after they have given authority to one of their people, but they do hold those people accountable. Do you follow up with your people? Do they expect that they will have to discuss whether they have done what you asked in the way that you asked them to do the work? Do they understand that there will be consequences if they do not faithfully follow the plan they are given to pursue?

                    Jesus continues His development of His people by listening to their analysis of their work. From that report, he knows much about where they are both in understanding what matters, and much about their capacity and willingness to do the work. Such discussions can be challenging; even contentious, but by beginning with the other person’s perspective you are in a much better position to talk about issues. Often, uninformed leaders can cause a person to feel they are being attacked personally rather than being developed.

                    Establish accountability to the vision and values you have been given. Do it well. Do it kindly. Do it with love. But, you must do it.
