(47) During the seven years of plenty, the land produced in abundance. (48) And [Joseph] gathered all the grain of the seven years that the land of Egypt was enjoying, and stored the grain in the cities; he put in each city the grain of the fields around it. (49) So Joseph collected produce in very large quantity, like the sands of the sea, until he ceased to measure it, for it could not be measured.
What are we learning from Joseph's actions?
וְיוֹסֵ֗ף ה֚וּא הַשַּׁלִּ֣יט עַל־הָאָ֔רֶץ ה֥וּא הַמַּשְׁבִּ֖יר לְכָל־עַ֣ם הָאָ֑רֶץ...
Now Joseph was the vizier of the land; it was he who dispensed rations to all the people of the land....
הוא השליט על הארץ, הוא המשביר, although he was the highest ranking official, i.e. the ruler, he personally supervised the selling...

How can we take a cue from Joseph on this?
וַיֹּ֤אמֶר פַּרְעֹה֙ אֶל־יוֹסֵ֔ף אַחֲרֵ֨י הוֹדִ֧יעַ אֱלֹהִ֛ים אוֹתְךָ֖ אֶת־כָּל־זֹ֑את אֵין־נָב֥וֹן וְחָכָ֖ם כָּמֽוֹךָ׃
So Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has made all this known to you, there is none so discerning and wise as you...."
Nahmanides (1194-1270) parses the phrase “discerning and wise,” saying that Joseph was discerning because he possessed the administrative talent of distributing food to Egyptian families based on their individual size and needs during the seven years of bounty; he was wise because he had the technology to store food for long periods of time without it rotting or being eaten by moths or rodents. (https://www.myjewishlearning.com/article/josephs-response-to-hunger/) (Nachmanides was a biblical commentator, physician, philosopher, and kabbalist from Spain.)
אין נבון וחכם כמוך, “there is no one as understanding and wise as you.” ....In this instance, insight was the first attribute required in order to understand the dream, whereas wisdom was required in order to deal with the challenge presented by fulfillment of the dream....
