What are some advantages and disadvantages of delegation, Why do some managers choose not to delegate?

2 answers

Some managers believe that they are the only ones who can do the job right and therefore cannot easily delegate.
Problems in delegation involve inaccurate communication as to what is desired and lack of motivation and/or skills of the employees.

However, with less skilled tasks done by employees, this leaves the manager free to devote more time to task that only they can do. (As a hospital volunteer, I provide services that nurses can provide (answering non-medical questions, transporting patients, directing relatives and other visitors), but this leaves nurses free to do more skilled tasks that only they are qualified to do.)

I hope this helps a little more. Thanks for asking.
