- Ambiguity of responsibility: If the delegator does not specify who is responsible for each aspect of a task, employees may assume others will act, leading to gaps in performance and difficulty assigning blame.
- Insufficient authority: Delegating tasks without granting the necessary decision‑making power forces employees to seek approvals, causing delays and reducing ownership of outcomes.
- Lack of monitoring and feedback: Without regular review, poor performance can go unnoticed, and the delegator cannot hold the employee accountable, eroding overall standards.
