the responsibility of a task to another individual. As a manager when you delegate authority
you also share authority with your subordinates and hold them accountable for their actions
and gives enough room and space to the subordinates to flourish their abilities and skill.
Through delegating powers, the subordinates get a feeling of importance. They get motivated
to work and this motivation provides appropriate results to a concern.

making them responsible to accomplish them.
