Thought for the Day: Delegation

Delegation is a lot like slacking off. The difference is that you get to blame other people at the end.

Hmmmm..... Management schools around the world may have something to say about that.

Yeah, I know. Delegation has its place, especially if people are more skilled or more knowledgeable than you. The problem there is that people can abuse it to get away with not knowing anything.
