Abstract
The three basic elements of delegation (responsibility, authority and accountability) are discussed with regard to effective management. Major guidelines for effective delegation are noted, including: (1) securing a mutual commitment to responsibilities involved; (2) establishing goals and checkpoints; (3) giving appropriate authority to the delegate; and (4) avoiding by-passing the delegate.
