Delegation means designating or transferring of authority to subordinates or another person. For example assigning of work by a manager to a subordinate to execute certain activities. It is the most important concept of management leadership.

The person who assigns the work is held accountable for the result of the delegated work. Delegation provides decisions making power to the subordinate . For example shifting of authority for making decision from one level to a lower one in the organisation.
