DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
| 1: | Draw up a profile of an individual who, because of certain personality traits, might not be able to delegate and therefore should not be a supervisor. |
| 2: | Would most employees be happier and produce more if they were given more authority by their managers? Why or why not? |
| 3: | Why do so many supervisors use the lack of time as an excuse for not delegating? How would you convince such a person that spending time now can save time later? |
| 4: | Describe a task that your supervisor could delegate to you that would reduce her or his workload and provide you with the opportunity to learn. |
