thinking we are the only ones who can handle the pro blenis DELEGATE RESPONSIBILITY Prof Cooper whose area of specmlization is personnel management told The Ex aminer ltic scliiitial as tiesigiieu to without the willingness among managers to delegate responsibility Most people who do something for the first time tend not to do it all that well be said and unfortunately their supervisors lose pa tience and never allow them to get past the first few tries preferring to do it themselves to save time Prof Cooper described the problem as vicious Circle because managers who are busy dont want to take the time to train subordinates therefore becoming even more busy and ha ving less time to ever do so Initially training subordinates is going to cause manager some problems but it is eSsentially an investment of time he said Prof Cooper said managers who do give so meone chance to do something are often surprised at their competency Managers must become more sensitized to this ever present
