Question
“Delegation of authority provides the mean whereby a manager multiplies himself”. Comment.
Solution
It is very right to say that a manager can extend his capacity through the process of delegation of authority. During this process, a manager divides his work among the subordinates. To complete the work successfully the manager also gives sufficient authorities to them. Therefore, he gets himself free from many routine works. Consequently, he finds sufficient time to deal with the major problems. Now, a manager can do more work than before. In other words, it can be said that through delegation of authority a manager multiplies himself.
