What are the steps in the delegation process?

Principle of Management
- Establish Performance levels / Results Expected – Expected results should be clearly spelt out to the subordinate and should also be fully understood.
- Assigning Tasks to subordinates – The tasks should be clear and the subordinates should agree to perform the tasks delegated to him/her.
- Allocate Authority and Resources – These will be necessary for the accomplishment of the delegated tasks. A subordinate without authority and resources will be handicapped in his quest to perform the given tasks
- Creating Accountability – After responsibility and authority to perform tasks have been conferred on the subordinate, there is still need to allocate accountability. Here the superior passed accountability for results to the subordinates, but still retains the overall accountability for the same results to his superiors.
