Exercise
7-2: “In-Basket”
Delegating is an important aspect of supervisory
effectiveness. Still, according to Rue and Byars (2004) in Ch. 7 of Supervision: Key Link to Productivity,
“failure to delegate is probably the most frequent reason that supervisors fail
in their jobs” (p. 117). Some supervisors are reluctant to delegate at all;
others do not quite know how to delegate, or they are unsure regarding which
tasks should be delegated. Recall the basic steps in the delegation process
from Ch. 7 of your text as you formulate your answers to this assignment.
