00:00Welcome to our sixth topic in the leadership training course.
00:20In the following three presentations we will see at a conceptual level and from the perspective of NEMIAS
00:26key points in the skills that a Christian leader needs to know, develop and master.
00:34The concepts we will share in the following three videos are the skills that should be part of one's character.
00:41and inherent capabilities of the leader to manage a work team and successfully complete a project such as the reconstruction of a walled city.
00:52The great challenge for a leader after successfully leading himself is now to lead his team.
01:03Knowing how to communicate the common goal to each member, assign roles, delegate tasks, and keep the team motivated
01:14and ensure individual performance so that the team is able to achieve the set goal.
01:23Let's make a first reflection before continuing.
01:27As I mentioned, now it's time to share principles for leading a work team.
01:34However, in order for the leader to assume responsibility for managing this group of people,
01:43He must first be honest with himself to recognize if he is truly capable of leading himself.
01:52In what aspects do I mean if he is first able to direct himself?
01:57As I mentioned, let's look at some points in the leader's private life.
02:03As a leader, are you an organized person?
02:07Is he/she a structured person who lives each day in order in all aspects?
02:15Spiritual, personal, family and work.
02:19Before leading a group of people, the obligatory question is, how is your life currently going?
02:29Please think, reflect, and be honest with yourself.
02:37Is it really impossible for a good leader to lead a group of people when there is no order in their personal life?
02:45If there is no relationship with God, if your personal life is a mess, accustomed to leaving everything unfinished,
02:55If he lives with resentment towards his family, he is unhappy at work because he is not doing what he likes.
03:04In short, he is a person whose life lacks order and harmony.
03:09Do you believe you can be a good leader, one who inspires and can lead a group of people toward a common goal?
03:15To lead others, you must first learn to lead yourself.
03:23To continue with the points of the class, I will be assuming that you, as a leader, lead an orderly life.
03:31and is willing to change his life in all aspects: spiritual, personal, family, and work.
03:40I will begin by sharing the main principle that should exist in every place, project, and work team.
03:50It's called order.
03:52The word of God tells us in 1 Corinthians chapter 14 verse 40
03:57What principles should a leader follow in order to ensure that everything is done, as Paul says, in an appropriate and orderly manner?
04:16Now we will see how NEMIAS has provided us with a framework that we can follow to carry out the organization of a project
04:26from integrating your team, assigning roles, and keeping people enthusiastic throughout the entire process
04:35and thus guaranteeing the satisfaction of all the people who participated for having achieved the objective.
04:43First point, a leader simplifies.
04:46NEMIAS had a huge project, but he had a simple plan to organize it.
04:51Unlike many current leaders, he didn't recreate the organization, nor did he draw up complex charts.
04:58All he did was observe how people were grouped together and organized.
05:03He took advantage of the fact that the people were associated with each other, such as the priests, the men of Jericho, the sons of Jacena, and the men of Tekoa.
05:15If you don't need a new organization, don't start creating another one.
05:20Do everything you can to work with what exists.
05:22Too often, new leaders rush to change the entire organization,
05:30just so that it resembles the idea they have.
05:34There's an old saying that applies to this.
05:37If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
05:40Always remember, the strongest organizations are the simplest.
05:44The more complex companies become, the more intolerable, bureaucratic, incomprehensible, and, above all, easily discarded they become.
05:58A leader is practical, straightforward, and very action-oriented.
06:03I'm referring to the execution without so much beating around the bush.
06:07Just don't reinvent the wheel.
06:09Second point, a leader chooses his team.
06:16Many leaders spend their time trying to corner the lazy and apathetic.
06:23Instead of focusing on working with those who want to work, don't wear yourself out.
06:29Work with those who want to work.
06:32There's one point you need to consider with your people.
06:35If the person wants to, but can't, it's a matter of teaching them.
06:41However, if the person can, but doesn't want to, we are talking about a negative attitude that doesn't contribute and does wear down the team.
06:51Therefore, it will be necessary for the leader to make practical and decisive decisions for the benefit of the team.
06:59Neemiah involved all the inhabitants of the city in the reconstruction of the walls.
07:04There were the religious leaders who paved the way, while men and women within the city or rural areas,
07:13Intellectual or manual workers moved bricks.
07:17There were perfumers, goldsmiths, government leaders, and business leaders.
07:24Everyone was moving bricks and mixing mortar.
07:30For reference, you can read chapter 3 of Nehemiah, where we will realize that everyone participated in the project.
07:37Well, almost all of them, because in verse 5 of this chapter 3, we find that the repair of the next section was done by the people of Tekoa,
07:47although their important men did not want to help their leaders.
07:51Apparently, the notables thought they were too good to do that kind of work.
07:58Moving bricks was beneath them.
08:03It's not mentioned what excuse they gave, but wherever you go, you'll find people like that.
08:09selfish, vain, lazy, who think they are too good to work.
08:14In every project there are two kinds of people: those who work and those who avoid work.
08:22What Neemiah did with those who refused was simply ignore them, instead of rebuking them.
08:30He focused his energies on those who were willing to work.
08:34He didn't lose sleep, nor did he become bitter about his life, nor did he waste time trying to motivate them.
08:39If you are a leader, you shouldn't worry about those who don't want to get involved.
08:46Work with those who want to work.
08:49However, this does not mean that you should not love those who go to work.
08:55But don't let them tear it down.
08:59Here is another principle.
09:01Leaders love everyone, but they align themselves with those who are moving.
09:06The next point is very important for things to move forward.
09:12We don't want leaders, know-it-alls, or people who want to be everywhere saying,
09:18If there were at least 10 people like me on this project, I'm sure everything would turn out great.
09:24It's not about having protagonist leaders, but leaders who empower others to perform specific tasks.
09:36and to be able to inform each team member of what is intended to be done to achieve the objective on time and in the right way.
09:45Third point.
09:46A leader delegates.
09:48Once you are organized, assign specific tasks.
09:51Divide the project according to the tasks to be performed and then assign them to specific people.
09:59What do you think happened without Emias after sparking interest in the project?
10:05I would have said, you start working wherever you want.
10:08Or it could have been said, let's all go to this part of the wall and we'll all work there at the same time.
10:14It would have been complete confusion, chaos, with workers tripping over each other,
10:21Instead of a wall, they would have made a mess.
10:25In contrast, Emias divided the wall into sections and assigned tasks by groups and by sections of the wall.
10:32Emias planned this when he walked around the wall during his inspection on that midnight ride.
10:39He collected the necessary data and estimated dividing the wall into sections.
10:45This teaches us that when we are organizing projects, we should keep things simple.
10:51Work with those who want to work, and then assign specific tasks.
10:57The delegation needs to take into account a very important detail.
11:03When you assign a task to someone, you must do it with the right person.
11:06Making the wrong choice about the person brings chaos, mistakes that are difficult to fix, or ultimately, failure of the project.
11:17Knowing how to delegate means understanding the tasks and also the capabilities of the team members.
11:23in order to assign the correct responsibilities to the workers who can best perform them.
11:30One principle to learn is that what is everyone's responsibility is no one's responsibility.
11:39Someone has to take specific responsibility for everything.
11:44Remember that.
11:45The most important thing for a leader when managing a group is to be as practical as possible, not to complicate things.
11:56If you, as the leader, are new to the group and have a goal to achieve, work with what you have.
12:03In Leadership Course 2, we will talk a little more about how to treat and develop your team through shepherding or coaching.
12:33However, it is extremely important that when delegating any function, it is clearly defined who is responsible for the task.
12:43the commitment date to finish it and that the person's profile is the right one, in short,
12:50that has the ability to perform the task being delegated to them.
12:55The task should always be undertaken by one person, not a group of people, so that if something goes wrong, no one will be responsible for the outcome.
13:08Delegation is fundamental for the leader in carrying out a task as large as the reconstruction project.
13:17Delegating tasks to the work team becomes an active element that will help us maintain people's enthusiasm throughout the process.
13:29I will mention some benefits of delegating effectively.
13:32First, it gives me more time for myself and to do other things.
13:38It helps me focus on what's most important.
13:42It allows my team to develop their skills and confidence.
13:46It makes it easier for me to act as a pastor and counselor to my people.
13:52Create opportunities to show appreciation for the work of others.
13:57It allows for clear documentation of poorly performed work and ensures positive results.
14:03To achieve the expected results when delegating, I'll give you six steps for effective delegation.
14:10First, prepare in advance and thoroughly review the task to be delegated.
14:15Step two, clearly define and explain each task.
14:21Be very specific.
14:23Ask the person being delegated to repeat the information to ensure they have understood everything perfectly.
14:31Step three, determine the timeframes in which the task must be completed.
14:37Fourth step, define the levels of authority that the person can use in their task.
14:46Level one, authority to make recommendations.
14:50A level two would be the authority to inform and implement.
14:55A level three would be the authority to act.
14:57Step five, establish regular check-ins to meet with the person who has received the job,
15:07analyze progress and offer guidance if necessary.
15:13Schedule these meetings fairly frequently at first, then make them more sporadic as the task gets under control.
15:19Step six, convene a review session to discuss what has worked well, what could be improved, and what has been learned.
15:30Reflection, being practical, choosing the work team and delegating are the first three elements necessary to organize a project.
15:41You may currently have a project in progress.
15:44Which of these points do you think would be most important to carry out your work plan?
