M.Ed. (Educational Management) / Continuous changes and renewal take place in the field of technology as well as in the field of education. Consequently increasing demands are made on the educational leader as manager and his managerial task becomes very comprehensive. No educational leader, however, can cope with all these demands unless he delegates authority and responsibility effectively. This study focuses on delegation of authority and responsibility as part of the managerial task of the educational leader and as a subordinate task of organising without which the efficient functioning of the school as an organisation cannot be realized. For the realization of effective delegation, it is absolutely essential that the educational leader possess knowledge of the factors which may influence the task of delegation. These factors relate to the delegator as well as to the delegate and may lead to non-effective delegation practices. Several guidelines, for example educational leader as well as for proper training for the subordinate to the whom authority and responsibility is delegated, effective communication and motivation, making use of correct feedback and time-management techniques and the utilization of the right person for the right task, can be followed in order to realize effective delegation.
