them authority to do so."

perform work on his behalf and in his name and the second person accepts a
corresponding duty or obligation to do that is required-of him.'

Informal Delegation: This delegation does not arise due to position but it arises
according to the circumstances of the case. A person may undertake a particular
task not because he has been assigned it but because it is necessary to do his
normal work

facts and then the supervisor uses facts to identify a decision and takes action .

❖ Investigate, take action and report the subordinate. digs up facts about the
issue, makes a decision, takes action and only repots what has transpired.
❖ Investigate and take action without reporting back. This form should occur in
situations where the manager is very sure the person is competent enough.

subordinate should get orders and instructions from One superior and should be

delegation and successful assumption of authority should be rewarded. This will
facilitate full delegation and effective assumption of authority within the

environmental climate for its fair introduction.
Delegation Process

Trends, Achievements, Challenges and Proposals for Consolidation
Before delegating, the delegator has to decide precisely the duties which are to
be delegated to the subordinate or a group of subordinates. The authority is
delegated accordingly and the subordinate is told what is expected from him.
The usual practice is to list the functions to be performed by the subordinate.
Competent and responsible employees may be given general guidelines about
what needs to be accomplished. In brief, in the first stage of delegation process,
duties are assigned to the subordinate.
The subordinate/delegate has to accept or reject the task assigned to him in the
first stage along with the authority given in the second stage. If the delegates
refuse, the delegator has to make fresh plan of delegation or may consider some
other subordinate who is capable and is willing to accept the assignment. On the
other hand, the process of delegation will move to the fourth and the last stage,
if the first delegates accept the assignment of work accompanying the authority.

subordinates to deal with the problems promptly. They can take the decisions
quickly within their authority. It is not necessary to go to the superiors for
routine matters. This raises the overall efficiency in an organization and offers
better results in terms of production, turnover and profit.

subordinate who is not confident about his performance/ ability will certainly try
to shirk responsibility even though his superior is prepared to delegate functions
and authority.

feel that they have limited' capacity to accept the challenges, which are bound to
come out to delegation. They feel that their inability to deal with new problems
will be This fear acts that their inability to deal with new problems will be
exposed due to delegation. This fear acts as an obstacle to delegation.
9. Corrective actions- A good control system should not only indicate deviation
ns from the standards but also suggest actions to deal with them.

The several benefits of delegation include it saves time and helps achieve
more within a short stipulated time. Delegation helps enhance the
credibility of the leader (Muir, 2006). As subordinates are allowed the

In conclusion decentralisation
in Uganda has a great potential for
growth and multiplier effect for citizen mobilisation and
development however Uganda did not fully take advantage of the
opportunities that Decentralisation held such as using it as a driver
for citizen engagement, beyond political processes of representation.
After political and administrative formation of institutions,
decentralisation needed to be optimised quickly for local
mobilization and local economic development.
