Answer: D - One critical aspect of delegation is to allow a delegate to interpret for themself how their task should be accomplished. Delegators should focus on the ends more than the means, as long as the means do not violate legal, ethical or company statutes. Micromanaging a task is essentially the same as performing it. Leaving the task to the delegate demonstrates that trust has been placed in them, inspiring more confidence and dedication on their part. It may even allow for new, more effective strategies to manifest. Laying out all of the necessary information upfront is critical, but not so the delegate can proceed alone. Delegates often invest more in a task when they have sole responsibility for it. And, they should be held accountable throughout the project, be required to see the task through to its conclusion, and be asked to generate solutions when problems arise, rather than receiving detailed direction or terminating their responsibility for the task.
