direct command or supervision of each officer.
Confusion is created when more than one superior undertakes independent
command of an operation performed by several subordinates or when a subordinate
receives orders from more than one superior.

level of officials, thus lengthening the chain of command.
6. DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY
The principle of delegation of work is related to the process of committing an
activity to another’s care. It is closely related to the principle of span of control in that
even though the span of attention is excessive, the harm from it can be reduced by the
delegation of much detail to subordination.
Conferring of an amount of authority by a superior position to a lower-level
position. A superior may delegate some of his duties to his subordinates. Said superior
is however, responsible for the neglect of his subordinates.
It is the transfer of authority of a higher officer to another subordinate such as a
unit head or who is a superior of another unit or division. This process is continued to
the lowest level of execution.
The delegations of authority are divided into:
a. POLICY FORMULATION – involves what are to be done in the form of
orders or broad statement of action.
b. DIRECTION – deals with procedures, what is to be done, who will do it,
when, where and how it is to be done.
c. SUPERVISION – deals with the assistance and guidance given to
subordinates to ensure successful performance.
