Explanation

Delegation is a fundamental management process where a superior transfers both authority (the right to act) and responsibility (accountability for results) to a subordinate. Authority alone is insufficient without corresponding responsibility, as the delegate must be accountable for outcomes. This transfer empowers employees while maintaining organizational accountability structures.
