Delegation of Authority and Responsibility in Management

It's the subordinate's responsibility to carry out the tasks, functions, or activities assigned by the organization. Delegating authority comes with the expectation of accountability for completing the task. Responsibility cannot be delegated, only authority. The superior has the right to expect compliance when assigning tasks and delegating authority, while the subordinate has an obligation to successfully complete the job when accepting it.
