In his fine book Spiritual Leadership, J. Oswald Sanders spends an entire chapter on the art of delegation. In my opinion, every Christian (leader or not), ought to study that chapter. Listen to his wise words: “The principle is that God assumes responsibility for enabling His man to fulfill every task to which He has appointed him. Now there are some self-imposed tasks which others can do better than we, and we should relinquish them. But even should they do them worse, we should still relinquish them—a severe test for the perfectionist!”
