    Delegation involves granting subordinates the authority and responsibility to make decisions and complete tasks. It has several elements, including assigning duties, granting authority, and creating accountability. Effective delegation follows principles such as matching authority with responsibility, assigning duties based on expected results, and allowing for a free flow of information. Obstacles to delegation can arise from superiors' perfectionism or lack of confidence in subordinates, and from vague organizational structures or lack of effective controls. Guidelines for effective delegation include determining goals, clarifying roles, providing motivation and training, establishing controls, and ensuring two-way communication. The benefits of delegation include better coordination, reduced executive burden, opportunities for business growth, division of labor, training development, and improved employee morale
