It is part of risk mitigation plan for key company positions which impact functioning.

Delegation has to be done to develop team members to take up higher roles, by providing right guidance, training and empowerment to do the delegated activity. This motivates team members as this provides opportunities for them to learn more than the routine activities.

But, giving a simple routine tasks to team member is not delegation.

By delegating, responsibility to execute the task may be with the team members, but manager is accountable for the result. This will not absolve him from his responsibilities to this task.

The case is complicated when the experienced owners do not show interest to their business, they look for wealth growth only, even they prefere to play in the stock market to blow up the wealth with minimum effort execution.

 

On the other hand the right situation that the owner should deligate the technical responsibilities to the PMO and follow up his business run perfectly without conflicts or objections from clients.
