Delegation refers to assigning authority, responsibility, and tasks to other individuals or teams. It involves transferring specific tasks or decision-making authority from one person (usually a manager or supervisor) to another person or group with the necessary skills, knowledge, and competence to carry out the assigned tasks. Delegation allows for workload distribution, promotes collaboration, and enables individuals to own their work.
Empowerment refers to the process of granting individuals the authority, autonomy, and resources to make decisions, take action, and have control over their work and outcomes.
