The closing discussion treats delegation as part of Octavian's competence. Octavian understood that Agrippa was the stronger operational commander and allowed him to apply the naval methods he knew best. Agrippa was highly effective in war but poorly suited to civilian administration, making the match between person and task especially important. This closing passage turns Actium into a leadership lesson about recognising one's limits and using specialised expertise well.
