Delegation without Supervision is Abdication.
As part of staff engagement in one place I worked, we had monthly staff party which included the crowning of the Employee of the Month.
However, the challenge which the organization faced was staff low turn-out, the budget of four million naira by management notwithstanding.
To grow the attendance at the monthly staff party became one of my performance goals for confirmation of appointment.
I achieved a 150% increase in attendance by delegating the actual arrangements to employees and merely supervised what they did.
Equally, based on their recommendations, the cash prize for the Employee of the month was increased by 100%.
Achievement level raised because "delegation" was backed up with "authority" & "supervision"
