Delegation sometimes leads to managers running away from their duties and
responsibilities that were given to them for example they tend to delegate all work to
lower levels and they do nothing and if anything happens then they blame it on lower-
level people leading to dissent and fight between the lower-level and upper-level
management.

3. In delegation Chances of miscommunications are high because multiple people are


involved for example in a purchasing department of the construction company
purchasing manager delegates the work of purchasing cement to junior staff and
instructs him or her to buy cement from area X which has good quality cement but due
to miscommunication, he or she purchases cement from area Y where the quality of
cement is not good then the whole exercise of delegation is futile.

Conclusion of advantages and disadvantages :


As one can see from the above that delegation has both advantages as well as
disadvantages and whether to delegate work or not depends on the person, situation,
and nature of work.
