Question

Delegation of authority ‘Develops employees’, ‘Motivates them’ and ‘Facilitates growth.' Explain how.

Answer 1

Importance of Delegation:

1. Employee development: Employees have more possibilities to use their talents, allowing them to develop the abilities necessary to complete complex tasks.
2. High morale/motivation of subordinates: The distribution of authority to subordinates allows them to demonstrate their efficiency and capacity.
3. Facilitates organisational growth: Subordinates develop capacities as a result of the delegation process (due to division of labour and specialisation), which leads to organisational growth.
