The primary purpose of delegation is to make an organization work. Just as no one person in an enterprise can do all of the tasks necessary to complete a project, so it’s impossible, especially in a growing enterprise, for one person to exercise all of the authority for making decisions.

There is also what you call “the span of control”, which is the limit to the number of persons any manager can effectively super-vise and make decisions for. Once this limit is passed, authority must be delegated to subordinates, who will make decisions within the area of their assigned duties.

1. Authority is delegated only when discretion to act is vested in a subordinate by a superior.

Usually many business people particularly in the online world make a mistake by having a product with first making a research if the market will accept it. Why is this necessary? Because the product might not cater to a certain demand. Of course without demand, no one will be willing to buy the product, and this would be terrible for any business.

The first thing in any online marketing course should be about looking for profitable Niche Markets. Despite how intimidating this subject may sound, it’s actually not too hard to be successful. All you need to have is an idea. Ideas can come to you at any time… for example while reading a magazine or while watching a movie. The idea here may come from your experience on your current or previous profession, or a passion you keep when you were still in your youth.

It is advisable to carry a small notebook with you, so that whenever your ideas come up, you could write them down so that you won’t forget it and can be remembered easily. Now the question is how can you be sure if the idea you have is profitable or not?

My previous manager suits very well to the term “Micromanager” because he is midget and looks like a gremlin (the bad one, not the cute one). But kidding aside, that term applies to managers who uses micromanagement. So when he manages his people he is always a failure because he frequently apply micromanagement.

To define micromanagement from Wikipedia:

In business management, micromanagement is a management style where a manager closely observes or controls the work of their employees, generally used as a pejorative term. In contrast to giving general instructions on smaller tasks while supervising larger concerns, the micromanager monitors and assesses every step. Micromanagement is instantly recognized by employees, but typically micromanagers never think of themselves as micromanagers.

Business today spend most of their time finding new customers and spend much on advertising just to get even a handful of them. Afterwards, if they already are a loyal customer they forget the ways how to retain them. For example, those banks that offer credit cards. Today we can see most of their advertisements and promos and are offering a very minimal interest just to balance transfer the amount to them. Then you became a customer to them because you now owe them and whatever future purchases you will make on your new credit card.

How about the existing member? most of the credit card companies don’t offer a low interest term on the balance of the existing member. But not all of them are like that, some bank I know have a paylite option so at least they have a flexible payment term, I stayed there (Credit Card A) and gave up the other(Credit Card B). I remembered when I was still their member (Credit Card B) I asked them if they can offer me a reduced flexible payment term like what they are offering for their new prospects. The answer is “no”. So when the time came I can pay all the balance on the card, I closed it up. The company can offer low interest on balance transfer for new members but can’t help their existing member to reduce their interest rate nor offered a flexible payment terms.
