Questions & Answers about En ce qui concerne l'équipe, il vaut mieux déléguer que superviser.

Could I use quant à instead of en ce qui concerne in this sentence?
Yes, you could say Quant à l'équipe. Both phrases mean 'as for' or 'regarding' and are used to shift the topic. En ce qui concerne is slightly more formal and often translates better as 'regarding' or 'concerning', while quant à is usually 'as for'.
Does the phrase en ce qui concerne ever change depending on the noun that follows it?
No, it is a fixed expression. Even if the noun is plural or feminine, it always stays exactly en ce qui concerne. It literally translates to 'in that which concerns'.
Why is it il vaut mieux déléguer without a preposition like de before the infinitive?
The expression il vaut mieux (it is better) is followed directly by an infinitive without any preposition. This is a great shortcut to remember, unlike il est préférable de which does require de before the verb.
Why is there no preposition after que for the second verb (superviser)?
When you make a comparison with il vaut mieux, the second verb matches the grammar of the first. Since déléguer doesn't take a preposition, superviser doesn't need one after que either. You're simply comparing two direct infinitives.
