Good response. Delegating needs to be a win-win situation. Not only do you gain a lighter load but your employee also has an opportunity to learn new skills as a result of the task delegated.
Dumping is more one way. Little or no thought is given to the professional growth of the person to whom you are delegating.
The other point that is important to remember is that the person delegating retains the ultimate responsibility for satisfactory completion of the task.
