"Delegation does not mean abdication". This statement means: |
Authority granted to the subordinates cannot be taken back Responsibility depends on the extent of authority delegated to the subordinate The Manager shall be responsible for the performance of the assigned task and even accountable for the same Delegation is entrustment of responsibility and authority to the subordinate relieving the manager from accountability for performance |
The Manager shall be responsible for the performance of the assigned task and even accountable for the same |
The correct answer is option 3- The Manager shall be responsible for the performance of the assigned task and even accountable for the same. Delegation helps a manager to extend his area of operations as without it, his activities would be restricted to only what he himself can do. However, delegation does not mean abdication. The manager shall still be accountable for the performance of the assigned tasks. Moreover, the authority granted to a subordinate can be taken back and redelegated to another person. Thus, irrespective of the extent of delegated authority, the manager shall still be accountable to the same extent as before delegation. |
