As righteous and beloved a leader that King Benjamin was in The Book of Mormon, he was still only one person with a limited sphere of influence. But he wisely chose for the assistance of other prophets in order to teach and bring peace to his people. Wise spiritual leaders do not try and do everything themselves, and know that it is impossible to do so. They learn that delegation is the key to success, and successful delegation begins with trust. This trust is centered on loving those who work with you, trusting in their own stewardships, and denying yourself the temptation to micro-manage things just your own way. This style of leadership is employed via the righteous exercise of the priesthood in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Under the delegation of the priesthood keys, miracles continue to happen on a daily basis.
Words of Mormon 1:18 Wherefore, with the help of these, king Benjamin, by laboring with all the might of his body and the faculty of his whole soul, and also the prophets, did once more establish peace in the land.
LESSON LEARNED: Wise leaders learn that delegation and trust are important elements of success outcomes.
