Things that you should NOT delegate are those with direct negative (or even disasterous) impact on your responsibiity/accountabbility in front of your superiors.      Let me give you an example ... how do you feel towards giving your personal/professional e-mail id and password to anyone ??? even the ones who you delegate other things to ? 

How would explain/justify abuse of this e-mail id/password in case your delegate decides (for whatever reason) to send from your e-mail something which is totally unacceptable/untolerable ??

 

How would you feel about giving a signed blank checque to anyone ??  Would you consider such a thing for your delegate  ??

 

To draw some conclusions here , you may delegate work items, actions, tasks that usually fit within the day-to-day operations,    not the ad-hoc situations ,  not things related to financial or personal liability on you or on the company. 

 

It is also not recommended to delegate things of signatory authority for major impact / critical decisions,  hiring /firing people, promotions and career advancement .
