If you tell people where to go, but not how to get there, you’ll be amazed at the results. (George Patton, U.S. Army general in World War II)

They’re called “micro-managers,” the people who are controllers by nature. They not only tell you what to do or where to go but detail for us how to get there. The result may be exactly what the boss intended, but how much better the result might have been if the doer had been trained and then encouraged to exercise his own judgment and skills.

And the things you have heard me say . . . entrust to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others. (2 Timothy 2:2)
