‘Are you willing to take the time to work with people to help them accomplish their goals and task assignments?
One aspect of ‘building people’ is that you take time with them. This means you will have to organize your calendar so that you have time to meet with the people you lead. For the leader who takes a hands – off approach for leadership, this may not be easy. The people you lead need to spend time with you, and you need to spend time with them. This is a vital step in practicing the principles of leading like Jesus. Jesus always made time for His disciples: we must follow His example as we make time for the people we lead. Although you may not be with them 24/7 you do need to be with them in all kinds of situations, not only at work.’
