How to Approach Violated Expectations
Has someone you lead let you down? Broken a commitment? It’s time to sit them down and talk it out.

One of the big mistakes a leader makes is not meeting one-on-one consistently with those in their auxiliary or presidency. Instead they wait for the big issue to come up.
On my mission I received a letter from my mother soon after I was made a district leader. She told me to never ask those I lead to do something that I am not WILLING to do. That is much different from her telling me to never ask those I lead to do something that I am ABLE to do.
The meeting has past the three hour mark and the bishop and two counselors flip through the ward list for the tenth time hoping a name will jump off the page for a new assistant to the assistant primary teacher. Hopefully they will find that name soon because they have a list of three other callings that need to be filled.
If the bishopric doesn’t decide on people for callings than who will?
DELEGATE! DELEGATE! DELEGATE! ….but at least do it right.
