Question 333General Subjects - 1st Asst/Chief

The correct answer is C) Over-estimating the job maturity level of their employees and assigning tasks that are too difficult. When delegating decision-making power to an employee, the manager must avoid over-estimating the employee's job maturity level and assigning tasks that are too difficult. This can lead to the employee feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, and fearful of failure, which undermines the purpose of delegation to enhance employee development. The manager should accurately assess the employee's capabilities and delegate tasks that are appropriately challenging but not beyond their current skill level. The other options are incorrect because: A) and B) involve assigning tasks that are too easy, which does not provide the appropriate level of challenge for employee development. D) involves under-estimating the employee's capabilities and assigning tasks that are too difficult, which can also lead to a fear of failure.
