Similar to its emphasis on leaders picking and relying upon good
subordinates, scripture also stresses the importance of leaders obtaining
and receiving wise counsel. Here are some of those scriptures. The blue
hyperlinks lead to other translations.
Where there is no guidance the people
fall, but in abundance of counselors there is victory.
Plans fail when there is no counsel, but
they succeed when advisers are many
Prepare plans by consultation, and make
war by wise guidance.
It is by strategy that you
wage war, and victory depends on having many counsellors.
If a ruler listens to falsehood, all his
officials will be wicked.
A multitude of wise men is the salvation
of the world, and a sensible king is the stability of his people.
If you
see a man of understanding, visit him early, let your feet wear out his
doorstep.
