Delegation means conferring authority from one manager or organizational unit to another in order to accomplish particular assignments. Although authority and responsibility may be delegated by a manager, they can never be abdicated. The regional sales manager who has not met his annual goal cannot throw the blame on a salesperson who did not reach individual objectives during the year. The marketing vice president will hold that sales manager (not the salesperson) responsible for the failure. So the full responsibility is with the manager and not with the sales person. Hence all the questions will be raised to the manager.
