$$ Empowerment Paper $+$ Presentation

$$ This assignment aligns with the following course objective: Compare and contrast the various approaches to leadership contingency.

$$ We can all think of times when we wished our bosses would give us more say and more discretion on the job, or at the very least, listened to our ideas. But think of times when you$$ve been in charge in any situation and answer the following questions in a $3$ to $4-$page double spaced paper:

o What has made it difficult for you to trust employees, volunteers, church members, etc.?

o When someone offers you an idea for how to improve a process, program, etc. what has made it difficult for you to accept and implement the idea?

o How might contingency or situational approaches to leadership explain your hesitancy to empower employees?

o What are some of the challenges of delegating to employees or volunteers that you$$ve noticed when you$$ve led $($or if you haven$$t led, what might be some challenges to delegation$)?$

o Drawing from the ideas in chapter $3,$ how might you as a leader delegate and empower employees differently depending upon their readiness to embrace responsibility?

o Transformational leadership states that leaders motivate employees by inspiring them with a compelling vision and empowering them to accomplish this vision.

o How is this in keeping with a covenantal approach to leadership and how could you use it to more effectively delegate to followers?

$$ Include two scholarly resources to support your writing.
