Since, delegation can be mismanaged, however, it is important for a manager to clearly understand why, what, and to whom he or she should delegate before attempting to do so. Insuring that the work is done by the right person. No manager, regardless of his or her competence, can adequately perform each departmental function as well as the person who does it on a daily basis. Many have not worked their way up through the company and are highly unlikely to have handled all aspects of a process while doing so. Additionally, they would hardly have been promoted to a managerial position without a belief that their talents could be put to use elsewhere.
Effective delegation ensures that each task is performed at the lowest appropriate level.
Increasing motivation, confidence, and personal as well as professional growth in subordinates. Effective delegation also heightens interest in the company and instills pride by demonstrating the manager's faith in their abilities. Obstacles to overcome There are, of course, factors outside a manager's control that may preclude all efforts to delegate. Examples are organizational instability, lack of resources, and poorly defined accountability. However, the most common factors that obstruct delegation are controllable and can be dealt with.
