1. Negative personal attitudes—some managers may lack confidence and trust in their
subordinates and therefore find it difficult to delegate to them.
2. Unreceptiveness of other people's views—some managers are unable to welcome other
people's views.
3. Unwillingness to let go—delegation entails willingness to give others the right to use
their discretion. Managers who are unwilling to part with some of their authority find it
difficult to delegate.
4. Unwillingness to let others make mistakes—mistakes are part of learning and
subordinates must be allowed to make mistakes, but managers who fear to be let down by
subordinates mistakes will not delegate easily.
5. Perceived threat— superiors are usually afraid of being replaced or outshone by brighter
and better educated subordinates, and hence may limit the authority they pass to them.
6. A feeling of inadequacy—a manager who is not competent fears that they will expose
their lack of skill through delegation.
