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.
