Delegating is characterized by giving group members the responsibility and authority to make decisions and complete tasks on their own. This leadership style is appropriate when group members are experienced, skilled, and motivated to take ownership of their work. The leader provides support and feedback as needed, but does not micromanage the process. The other three styles (participating, selling, telling) involve varying levels of leader direction and control over the group's actions.
