    Delegation of authority allows superiors to give subordinates power to act independently within prescribed limits set by organizational policies and rules. While authority is shared, the manager does not give up their own authority and can expand or withdraw a subordinate's delegated authority depending on the situation. Delegation must comply with the manager's own authority and cannot delegate their full powers to a single subordinate. Delegated authority can be written or oral, specific or general, and requires assignment of duties, a transfer of authority to perform them, acceptance of the assignment, and accountability.

    independently but within the limits prescribed by the superior. Also,
    he must comply with the provisions of the organizational policy, rules,
    and regulations.
    • Delegation does not mean that manager give up his authority, but
    certainly he shares some authority with the subordinate essential to
    complete the responsibility entrusted to him.
