One factor that contributed to the longterm success of Moses was his willingness to listen.
Moses listened to the advice of Jethro:
- Keep your personal vision and mission constantly before God (Exo 18:19).
- Invest significant energy communicating the vision (Exo 18:20).
- Enlist capable people to assist you in the work (Exo 18:21).
- Delegate to those who could do the work well (Exo 18:22).
- Make yourself available as needed (Exo 18:22).
Tips to Delegate Effectively
- Recognize the need to delegate (for the sake of others as well as yourself).
- Identify what you could delegate.
- Write a clear role description for the item to delegate (responsibilities, reporting structure, skills needed, resources available, schedule for reviews, limits of authority).
- Delegate appropriate work to qualified people.
- Inform all those affected by the delegation.
