Application Performance Management (APM) Application performance management (APM) is a practice within systems management that targets managing and tracking the availability and efficiency of software applications. APM involves translating IT metrics into business meaning.
- The subordinate performs other tasks effectively. - The subordinate is doing as well as other people who are in a similar situation. - The effects of failures or mistakes are not serious or harmful. - The manager is dependent on the subordinate for his or her own success. - The subordinate is perceived to have other redeeming qualities.
The authority delegated to subordinates should be adequate enough to ensure their ability to accomplish the expected results. Authority can be delegated but responsibility can never be delegated. Responsibility of subordinates is âperformanceâ and that of managers is âresponsibility for the action of their subordinatesâ. One cannot be held responsible for a task if he has only limited authority.
