The risk of manager not delegating

These are some of the problems that I would envisage for the person not getting the opportunity
from their manager’s delegation:

Lack of skills development

Lack of career enhancement

Reduced opportunity to build personal strengths and learn from experience

Lack of confidence for taking on new goals and actions in the future

De-motivation and low employee engagement through lack of encouragement for autonomy and
creativity

Decreased job satisfaction – and the possibility they will look for advancement and challenge
elsewhere

Lack of respect of the manager, as they may feel mistrusted

Reduced or no loyalty to the manager and the organisation

Lack of commitment to the team’s goals

Little time with the manager as they are too busy with their workload

When the manager is absent, little gets done and the team’s productivity is negatively affected
(which in turn can also have an effect on bonuses and rewards for the individual)
