ment of presentation, wouldn’t you? Suppose, a company provides an assistant who can do a work for you. The work may include a simple power point presentation or any database enquiry or any complex assignment. The assistant will take your efforts and make all the necessary research.

Aniket R. Vaidya NMiMS - Hyderabad 2012-14 Batch DELEGATION-A NEW SERVICE!!
Imagine an ideal situation, when you are working in the corporate world, having a prestigious position, never ending work load, hectic work schedule, and are perpetually tired, your boss forwards you a copy of e-mail, saying that, you have to give a presentation next day. Many of us will give the frustrating and irritating reaction. This is the exact trap; an MBA student gets caught into, when he is pursuing his post-graduation in management. They are bombarded with a lot of tasks every day, in order to meet the challenges they will be facing when they would join corporates. This kind of pressure is presumed and is as expected as getting a free bag with a brand new laptop. Remember those days of your graduation or even before, when you did not complete your assignments or journals. Some of the students may have completed it on time. But those will be very few. Many of us have gone through this phase and could not meet with the submission deadline, or at least get it done with , at the very 11th hour. Some students are very smart, when they are given a task to complete their assignment. What do these smart people do? Delegation! Delegation is usually done when; you empower someone else to act for you. The act of delegation involves conferring some or all of your functions or powers on another so he or she can act on your behalf. These delegates can be your batch-mates, friends or the juniors and in case of working people they may vary from a peon to a junior colleague or the business partner. So, this is the strategy, which we are using since our school or college days and in MBA studies and further future, this is one of the most important aspects of managerial tasks every day. Many a time manager alone cannot perform all the tasks, in order to achieve his or his team’s goals. He delegates the tasks among his team members and gets it completed. This is how the groups and companies grow and progress. In the former situation, I am sure, you will be pleased, if someone makes your presentation for you and give neatly completed your assignment i.e.ready to submit assignment
necessary documents and references and of course an online payment towards his fees. That’s it! When you wake up in the morning, you will have received the unread mail from your assistant containing you presentation. And your work is done! These assistants will be highly educated, sma
