It is one of the core concepts of management leadership . However, the person who delegated the work remains accountable for the outcome of the delegated work . Delegation empowers a subordinate to make decisions, i.e. it is a shifting of decision - making authority from one organizational level to a lower one . Delegation, if properly done, is not abdication . The opposite of effective delegation is micromanagement, where a manager provides too much input, direction, and review of delegated work . In general, delegation is good and can save money and time, help in building skills, and motivate people .

The delegated readiness of the individuals is an important factor in determining the success of the delegation . Individuals must be prepared for delegation . </P>
