Steps in Delegation
The following
step may be taken for effective delegation.
1. Allocation
of duties: The Delegator communicates his subordinate regarding the task to be
performed. The resources should be
provided and the time limit should be informed. The superior can ask the
subordinate to prepare his own plan for performing the task.
2. Delegation
of Authority: To perform the task authority is required. Authority is the right
granted to the employee to perform the task. For eg: Sales manager is
responsible for advertisement, sales promotion etc. for that he must be
delegated with the authority to do the necessary activities.
3. Assignment
of Responsibilities: When authority is delegated he must be assigned with
responsibility. That is when one is given rights one must also be assigned a
corresponding obligation to perform. Responsibility cannot be delegated. A
manager should operate responsibility equal to the delegated authority.
5. Creation of
Accountability: To complete the delegation process the manager must create
accountability, that is subordinates must be answerable for the duties which
they have carried out.
