I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'get others to take over' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'maybe fire les' is the wordplay.
'maybe' indicates an anagram.
'fire'+'les'='fireles'
'fireles' with letters rearranged gives 'RELIEFS'.

'and' is the link.
