Whenever a leader delegates decision making ability to the team who serves with him, it
often goes a lot better if he gives some guardrails in regards to how to make those
decisions. I have nine of them I have used for a number of years.
1. What does the Bible say?
2. What do wise and godly people say?
3. What does my experience say?
4. What does the Spirit say?
5. Does this negatively impact the vision?
6. Am I excited about this?
7. Is this a temporary solution?
8. Is this extravagance or excellence?
9. Will this benefit THE vision or just my vision?
When we lead and serve with people, there are going to be
disagreements about decisions. Conflict is inevitable and
good communication is vital. Let’s look at how to lead well
through communication and conflict.
