Practice Listening: Multiple Choice, Single Answer ID: #43897 Short Delegation
Instructions
During the handover phase, you'll want to get clear about how much autonomy you're giving the employee to do this task. Make sure that they share the same understanding as you. Autonomy is the level of independence a person has to complete a task. One of the most frequent problems that happens in delegation is lack of clarity about the level of autonomy being given. I cannot emphasise enough how important this aspect is to successful delegation. There are actually eight different levels of autonomy you can give your employee, with level one being the least amount of autonomy and level 8 being the most. These were identified by Ross Webber, who's offered several books on management, and I'm expanding on his idea. I know that for myself, learning about the 8 levels changed the way I delegated for the better. I was much more clear with both myself and my delegate. Which made the whole process better for everyone. These levels are differentiated by 4 things. The level of analysis the delegate provides, who makes the decision, who takes action, and the amount of communication that takes place.

According to the speaker, what is one of the most common problems in delegation?
