When does delegating become part of that person's job description?

If delegating certain tasks, jobs or projects become constant then wouldn't that become part of that persons job description?

JUAN ,
Determining when delegation becomes part of an individual's job description depends primarily on the scope of people management the individual has. If the person has performed well within teams and has performed as a solid team member,then perhaps they could be considered for delegation authority. Before fully delegating, however, the individual should be coached on how to effectively delegate and then observed in delegation situations. Once the observer/coach feel the individual is ready and mature enough to accept the role, they can be assigned to a position that has delegation authority.

I agree. Delegation is part of any manager's job. It give the manager an opportunity to see which team member has the best potential to advance in the organization and allows a manager to see who can handle certain tasks when the manager needs to be away from the office.
