         What is Delegation?
     Delegating is:
     •    ‘The act of delegating, or investing with authority to act for another’ or ‘the 
          distribution of responsibility and authority to others while holding them 
          accountable for their performance.’ 
     •    Hence, delegating means asking someone else to perform a task that is one 
          of your responsibilities or work that you are being paid to do.
     •    It is entrusting responsibility and authority to others who then become 
          responsible to us for their results but we remain accountable to our boss for 
          what our subordinates do.
