Delegation is the process of assigning responsibility and/or authority to another person on the team usually from a manager to a team (e.g., chief finance officer to accountant) for carrying out specific activities. But delegation being a core management leadership concept, it does not end with the assignment of tasks since the person who delegated the task remains accountable for its outcome – or in short, delegation and abdication are not synonymous.
Then there’s the other end of delegation, namely, micromanagement. In this case, the manager who delegated the task meddles too much in the work, usually by providing too much direction, performed by the team.
