- Yes!
- Naturally, a critical part of a manager's job is to decide what, when, and
- to whom to delegate. Also, studies of how organizations are evolving are
- saying that in order to become more productive and to remain competitive
- organizations need to find ways to move the decision making closer to where
- the work is being done, i.e. to lower levels of management. It seems to me
- that providing systems that make this easier for organizations is one of
- the goals of groupware.

- Should the manager remain part of the decision? I imagine there are cases
- where the decision will be delegated, and other cases where the manager
- only wishes to involve the junior in the decision process. Neither case
- should be excluded.
