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.
