Some concerns that managers have about delegation

 One of the boss’s concern while delegating is that we can be accused of being a control freak. The answer to this is that  when a new person starts a new position it is impossible to overmanage. For  the first six weeks watch the new employee very closely – you are training them. Give them more freedom gradually and follow-up.
