Organizing

Question

Wired Faculty App

The marketing manager of Aditi Limited, an organisation manufacturing generators has been asked to achieve a target sale of 150 generators per day. He delegates the task to 15 sales managers working under him. Five of the sales managers could not achieve their respective targets. Is the marketing manager responsible? Explain in brief the relevant principle in support of your answer.

Solution

Yes, the marketing manager is responsible for it.

Here the principle of ‘absoluteness of responsibility’ will apply (By responsibility we mean Responsibility to/Ultimate Responsibility/Accountability). As per this principle, authority can be delegated but accountability is absolute and cannot be delegated. The person who delegates authority remains accountable to his own boss for the work he has delegated to his subordinate. In brief, it can be said that the process of delegation of authority does not relieve the manager of his own accountability.
