Which of the following is NOT a guideline for how to delegate effectively?

A) Specify the subordinate's scope of authority and limits of discretion.
B) Explain the new responsibilities and the expected results.
C) Arrange for the subordinate to receive relevant information.
D) Tell the subordinate to report any problems immediately.

Effective delegation involves specifying the scope of authority, explaining responsibilities and expected results, and ensuring the subordinate has access to relevant information. Telling the subordinate to report any problems immediately is not a guideline for effective delegation; instead, it's more about problem management and communication. Effective delegation focuses on empowering the subordinate to make decisions within their scope of authority, which may include handling problems independently.
