Organization and delegation are important ingredients for successful running of any company. Organization helps in bringing all the required resources in one place. Resource when put together, to achieve definite goal or perform tasks, is more effective as compared to when they work independently. Resource can include everything used, in production of a product. It may be labor and workers, finances, material used etc. When departments of a company work in coordination with each other and support each other's functions, result is effective work processes and efficient operations.
People working at managerial level often become too tied up in leadership roles that meeting their own deadlines becomes difficult. They end up falling sick or missing out on critical project deadlines, which has a direct impact on their overall work performance and evaluation. This is where delegation comes in the process. Through effective delegation of authority and tasks, it is easier to handle projects and meet goals in time. Effective delegation of work also requires experience and expertise in the area. Managers who know how to use resources through delegation of authority and work, overcoming time limitations and other constraints are more successful than those who do not believe in delegation. It is very important to analyze both organization and delegation in detail if we want to run a department or company efficiently.

They should be working in harmony with each other's functions and support the overall objective and goals of a company. The most important resources of organization are its people, finances and processes. Any manager who wants to run his department or company successfully must be able to employ these resources in coordination with each other. He should be able to define what his expectation from an employee or sub ordinate working under him through clear job descriptions and positions. After defining every person's role, he should authorize every employee according to tasks and responsibilities assigned to him. The subordinate has enough room and authorization, so that he fulfills his duties in an effective manner without needing approval and permission for little things. If he is dependent on his manager at every step, then it will hinder in his way of performing the task or meeting the deadline of the project.
