Correct Answer: Empower employees and enhance productivity

 


Solution : The correct answer is (c) Empower employees and enhance productivity.

Delegation is an essential aspect of effective directing. It involves assigning tasks, responsibilities, and authority to employees, thereby entrusting them with the necessary autonomy and decision-making power to accomplish those tasks.

The purpose of delegation is to empower employees by giving them opportunities to take ownership of their work, make decisions, and contribute to the achievement of organizational goals. Delegation enables employees to develop their skills, capabilities, and confidence as they are given the chance to handle new responsibilities and challenges.

When employees are appropriately delegated tasks, it can lead to increased productivity. By distributing workload and responsibilities among team members, delegation allows for a more efficient use of resources, time, and expertise. It enables leaders to leverage the strengths and capabilities of their team members, resulting in improved overall performance.
