| C) | When the task is not a challenge for the manager | |
| D) | Because someone else is better qualified to do the task that needs to be done | |
| Ans: | C | |
| Feedback: | ||

| A) | A high degree of trust in subordinates | |
| B) | A democratic leadership style | |
| C) | A need for perfectionism | |
| D) | Sufficient time to accomplish unit goals alone | |
| Ans: | C | |
| Feedback: | ||
| A manager with a need for perfectionism and control may believe that another person will not complete a task. Trust in subordinates and a democratic leadership style would support effective delegation. Delegating should not be based on the issue of time exclusively. | ||
| 3. | What is the most important consideration for the manager when identifying the appropriate person to whom to delegate a specific task? | |
| A) | Whose turn it is to delegate a task | |
| B) | The qualifications of the person regarding the task | |
| C) | The fiscal cost of delegating the task | |
| D) | Whether the person has experience with similar tasks | |
| Ans: | B | |
| Feedback: | ||
| Managers should ask the individuals to whom they are delegating if they are capable of completing the delegated task. | ||
| 4. | Which situation presents an example of inappropriate delegation? | |
| A) | Temporary authority is given to support completion of a delegated task | |
| B) | The person to whom a task is delegated considers it a challenge | |
| C) | The employee is given exact instructions on completing the task | |
| D) | Regular updates on the task are exchanged with the manager and the employee | |
| Ans: | C | |
| Feedback: | ||
| If an employee has the skills necessary to complete a task, that employee should be able to carry out the task with autonomy and be provided with the authority and resources necessary. Depending on the complexity of the project, the manager should meet with the employee for updates. One of the goals of delegation is to challenge employees into learning new skills. | ||
| 5. | What is the first step the manager takes when a subordinate is having difficulty carrying out a delegated task? | |
| A) | Take over the task so the employee will not become demoralized | |
| B) | Be available to the employee as a role model and resource for the task | |
| C) | Assign another more experienced employee to help with the task | |
| D) | Re-assign the employee a different, less complex task | |
| Ans: | B | |
| Feedback: | ||
| A manager should be available to the employee to help identify solutions to problems encountered with a delegated task and should encourage the employee to persevere. Taking back a task that was originally delegated is an absolute last resort. Reassigning and co-assigning the task are options that are not initially considered. | ||
