What kind of person is he? Is he a man who cannot delegate anything to others?

No, nothing to do with ability to delegate responsibility.
It means, don't be a person who is "book smart" but not "street smart," who grinds away to get good grades in school but who knows nothing about real life. Anyone who flunks / fails ordinary living is someone who cannot get along in today's world.
