blog 4 delegation and decision making

Delegation and decision making process have similar traits. Both start at the manager and the manager is responsible for both of the task. The one thing that a manager can not delegate is the accountability. If the manager makes a bad decision to delegation too many tasks or the same task to the same employee that employee might get discouraged or even might leave the organization.

Both decision making and delegation have steps that a manager need to complete before choosing either to make the decision or to delegation. In decision making there are 6 steps. the last three of the decision making process are Choosing, Implementing, and Feedback. like wise, the delegation process requires a manager to choose an employee that they feel can handle the task about to be delegated to that employee. The next step is to go over all the task with that employee so that they understand what is need to be done in what time frame. Finally, check up on that employee that has the delegated task and see if there is any barriers or problems with the task. If so, the manager should work with the employee to figure out how to solve this issue that he/ she has encountered.
