1.	A task may be delegated but not the accountability. Explain.
Answer» During delegation of work, the person who has been delegated the power and work is accountable for this work to the higher authorities. He needs to provide proper explanation and follow reporting process to the top level management. The delegated person may be having the powers to get the work done by others but finally the responsibility of getting the work done rests with the upper level administrators only. This means if the delegated work is not done as planned, the person who has delegated cannot put the blame on the shoulder of the person to whom the work was delegated. Hence, a task may be delegated but not the accountability.
