    The document discusses the importance of delegation. It notes that Moses tried to handle all the problems of the Israelites alone, but his father-in-law advised him to delegate tasks to others. Specifically, Moses was told to appoint judges over groups to handle smaller cases so he could focus on more important matters. By delegating responsibilities appropriately, one can accomplish more, avoid burnout, and help others reach their potential. The key is to delegate the right tasks to capable people and provide oversight, not to abdicate all responsibilities.

    Exodus 18:13-24 (NLT)
    13.The next day, Moses sat as usual to hear the people's complaints against each
    other. They were lined up in front of him from morning till evening.

    14. When Moses' father-in-law saw all that Moses was doing for the people, he
    said, "Why are you trying to do all this alone? The people have been standing
    here all day to get your help."

    15. Moses replied, "Well, the people come to me to seek God's guidance.

    16. When an argument arises, I am the one who settles the case. I inform the
    people of God's decisions and teach them his laws and instructions."

    17. "This is not good!" his father-in-law exclaimed.

    18. "You're going to wear yourself out -- and the people, too. This job is too heavy
    a burden for you to handle all by yourself.

    19. Now let me give you a word of advice, and may God be with you. You should
    continue to be the people's representative before God, bringing him their
    questions to be decided.

    20. You should tell them God's decisions, teach them God's laws and
    instructions, and show them how to conduct their lives.

    21. But find some capable, honest men who fear God and hate bribes. Appoint
    them as judges over groups of one thousand, one hundred, fifty, and ten.

    22. These men can serve the people, resolving all the ordinary cases. Anything
    that is too important or too complicated can be brought to you. But they can take
    care of the smaller matters themselves. They will help you carry the load, making
    the task easier for you.

    23. If you follow this advice, and if God directs you to do so, then you will be able
    to endure the pressures, and all these people will go home in peace."

    24. Moses listened to his father-in-law's advice and followed his suggestions.

    If you want something done right, you have to ___________________ delegate.
