robert, Delegation should be a win-win for both the manager/supervisor and the direct report. The supervisor needs to consider the skills and developmental needs of the employee. Delegation can be a terrific morale builder also. Delegating a task which takes into account the needs of the company as ell as the employee allows the supervisor to gain assistance ith workload and allows the employee to gain new skills. Delegation is not a total handoff but instead something which requires follow up throughout the project. Doing so ensures the project is completed as expected and in a timely manner.
