| File Information | Shared decision making can lead to better decisions, increase communication with employees, bolster worker motivation, and increase acceptance of difficult decisions. While delegation may save time in the long run, it takes more time in the short term. Circumstances are critical, as are both the supervisor’s and the subordinate’s skills and perspectives. Whether delegating routine jobs or important decision-making assignments, supervisors also need to assure instructions are clear, communicate the limits of the shared decision-making power, and see that tasks are carried out in a timely fashion. |
