d) He should avoid delegating his work and discourage middle managers from delegating as well

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is the option A: He should provide ample work-related information to all his employees.

Explanation:

To begin with, it is highly recommended that inside a company a manager should delegate and try to encourage their employees to take independent decisions regarding certain topics when making the decisions, however it is quite understood that some decisions can not be taken by those employees due to the fact that they do not know all the information necessary to make certain decisions or also to the fact that they might not understand the dynamics of the business.

To continue, even though some topics can not be decided by the employees, if the manager wants to encourage the employees to engage in activities in an independet way then the most common option is to provide them with ample work-related information so in that way they will understand a bit more of the dynamics of the business and therefore they will be a bit more accurate when making decisions.
