The delegation of Duties in Companies

Managers delegate duties due to many reasons. For example, a manager may request one of the subordinates to step in on the manager’s behalf and conduct a meeting with the workers to discuss a given small issue such as lateness while reporting to duty (Mueller and Amy 21-27). The manager may be having other more important tasks such as meeting with the board to discuss the future of the firm making it difficult for the manager to attend the meeting with the employees and hence delegating the other duty to a subordinate (Mueller and Amy 21-27). Delegated duties at times fail to achieve the required results. This happens when the person entrusted is not conversant with the work he or she is assigned to do or where a given worker subrogates the manager.
