Delegating means authorizing someone to do something in your place. A supervisor may delegate the authority to handle certain tasks to an employee. A politician may have someone take care of certain types of issues so they can focus more on more important things. Delegation is good, since it can allow one person to oversee many more things, providing more time to focus on bigger issues. It can also hinder things, since they may find themselves overtasked by overseeing too many things. Another disadvantage to it is that no matter how much you delegate to someone, you always hold responsibility for it, no matter what.

The likely disadvantages are: if the workforce is inexperienced, this will produce bad decision-making scheme from the latter. -
Delegation is the handing over of some less crucial tasks of a superior to his subordinate so as to allow the superior to concentrate on critical matters. The main advantage is more time will be available for the superior and the subordinate will have the opportunity to learn new tasks. Delegation is only bad without some form of control by the superior which is commonly termed as "delegating without control" and this will be bad for business as mistakes generated by this inexperience subordinate may be too late to rectify when eventually realized by his superior.
