Discussion:
Delegation is the assignment of new or additional responsibilities to a subordinate. When done correctly, the individuals involved know exactly what they are to do, and the chances for success are maximized. For this Discussion, refer to the unit readings in the textbook section on delegation.
Pick a paid or unpaid job that you have held where you delegated responsibility to others or had responsibilities delegated to you. If you have not had a paid or unpaid job previously, use your experience in this course, where your instructor has delegated assignments to you, as your reference for this Discussion.
Describe your experience with delegation in terms of what went well and why, or what did not go as expected.
What could have improved the chances of a successful outcome in that particular situation?
Post Your Draft
Using your prewriting, write a draft of your Unit 4 Assignment.
Please keep in mind that your draft should do the following:
Make sure you provide your audience with the author's name, title and a link to the article as well as a summary of relevant information from the article.
Go beyond summary by adding to what the author says in some way (one way to do that is to disagree, or engage in debate, or explore a point further than it is addressed in the article).
Be sure that you make clear to your audience why the issue you are informing them about is relevant to them in some way.
In the body of your post, include your initial revision plan. To help develop your revision plan consider the following questions:
What aspects of your draft do you think could use development?
What aspects of your draft do you think are strong?
Which areas of your draft are you still working on?
Step 5: Respond to classmates' postings
Make comments and ask questions about two classmates' drafts. Be sure to address the following points:
Does the draft answer your questions about the topic?
Can you as a reader understand the purpose of the document?
Are there places where you feel more needs to be said?
Using your knowledge of the revision process, what suggestions could you make for revising this draft?
