Delegated Decision-Making

Delegated decision-making means assigning specific authority or responsibility to individuals or groups within an organization to make certain decisions on their own, rather than having every decision approved by a higher authority. This process helps promote efficiency, empowering trained or capable staff to act promptly and effectively. It involves clear boundaries and guidelines to ensure decisions align with organizational goals and policies. Delegating decision-making can improve productivity, foster trust, and develop skills, provided there is proper oversight and accountability to maintain quality and consistency.
