A delegator is a person in a position of authority—such as a manager, executive, supervisor, or project leader—who entrusts, assigns, or transfers specific tasks, duties, and operational responsibilities to a subordinate or team member. While the delegator grants the necessary authority and autonomy required to execute the assignment effectively, they retain ultimate accountability for the final outcome and performance standards. Effective delegators clearly communicate expectations, provide required resources, and establish monitoring frameworks to ensure successful task completion while fostering professional growth within their teams.
