While delegation is essential, several barriers can impede its effectiveness: 1. Lack of Trust: Leaders may struggle to trust their teamâs capabilities. 2. Fear of Losing Control: Leaders may be hesitant to delegate for fear of losing control over the process or outcome. 3. Inadequate Training: Employees may not have the necessary skills or knowledge. 4. Poor Communication: Misunderstandings can occur if expectations are not clearly communicated.
