Leaders focus on both when delegating authority viz focus on the results and the task involved and how to manage it.
In order to do this they have to plan, lead, organise and control so that the strategy is working well. Effective delegation is the mechanism by which leaders are able to empower their employees.
Principles of Effective Delegation
Delegation is about giving employees the accountability to make the right decisions, to change the process and to be the owner of the task or project.
Effective delegation means:
Delegation is most successful when there is a win-win outcome – employees build new skills or achieve new results by taking on greater accountability.
Since delegation creates employee empowerment, why don’t more leaders do it? Many objections are based on the professional fears that delegating could have a negative impact on operational results or leaders’ careers. For example, some leaders fear: that they won’t be seen as competent since others are doing the work; that they will be replaced; and, that if something goes wrong, it will impact their reputation. These fears are generally unfounded and can be managed through effective delegation. The benefits of effectively delegating far outweigh the risks.
Empowering EmployeesWhen leaders empower their employees those employees are able to take on greater responsibility and authority. In order to do so, employees must be given the resources to make this happen. Unfortunately, some employees often feel as though they do not have the support or resources to become empowered. Employees may be unclear as to what empowerment actually means in tangible terms.

Effective delegators if they leverage the trust they have built with their teams by openly sharing how increased responsibilities benefits employees, the team and the organization.
Employees will do their best when there is trust between the leader and staff. The work culture is greater influenced and commitment grows amongst them. Results are spot on and rewards are on the cards as well.

Totally agree with Celesta Ann's in her reply.
Thank you for the invitation ;
The authority in its linguistic sense is the domination, control, control and imposition of its will on other wills so that the other bodies recognize the leadership and separation and its ability to give it legitimacy and respect for its considerations and commitment to its decisions.
To select the appropriate employee, this is based on the plan that you have developed for how to do the job.
Thanks
Both, while I am caring to achieve results, I have concern to see my employees doing their tasks in a perfect manner
Hello, as required by the commissioner, sometimes the performance is what is important and we find it when the teacher is the trained component.
