And by understanding it is established;

With all precious and pleasant riches.

And in a multitude of counselors there is safety.

Proverbs 24:5-6

When the plans go out the window, a wise and humble man seeks counsel and then decisively acts.

Point seven: a self-sacrificing servant leader seeks counsel that adds to his knowledge and adds confident assurance to all those under his care.
