The Delegation of Authority grants authority to carry out specific  functions. ICS 200 is the unit that describes the delegation  process, scope of authority, management by â¦objectives, and  importance of having agreements and preparedness plans.
Let us understand some of the basic principles to be adhered to while delegating: 1  The authority delegated to subordinates should be adequate enough to ensure their ability to accomplish the expected results. 2  Authority can be delegated but responsibility can never be delegated. Responsibility of subordinates is âperformanceâ and that of managers is âresponsibility for the action of their subordinatesâ. One cannot be held responsible for a task if he has only limited authority. There need to be a balance between authority and responsibility.
