A teaching by Mr Masiya Baloyi · The introduction to his 7-part series, A Team That Duplicates
If it only works when you work, you have a problem
Here is Mr Baloyi's test for every leader: stop working for seven days. Does your team keep moving, or does everything wait for you to come back?
Most leaders end up in that place because they care. They call, they motivate, and they solve every problem for the team. So the question is: are you building a team, or building dependence on yourself?
Your job as a leader
Your job is to teach your team to do it themselves. You show them, you guide them, and you let them practise. Then you teach them to teach their own downlines too. That is how duplication works.
It is an old principle: leaders are given "for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry" (Ephesians 4:12, KJV). A leader's work is to equip others to do the work.
This week's exercise
Pick one thing you have always done for your team. Teach one person to do it, and let them do it. Don't just build a team. Build people who can build others.
