Empowerment and delegation are both important concepts in the relation to managing employees .Each involves managers entrusting employees to taken on important roles in the business . However empowerment is intended to serve as a motivational strategy ,while delegation is a system of assigning works tasks to employees for positive production

8. Delayering occurs in an organisational structure to reduce one of more level of hierarchy in an organisational structure. It can be a good thing to do this, especially for Syngenta, because it offers opportunities for delegation, empowerment and motivation as the number of managers are reduced, improve communication as message can be passed directly without having to go through so many layers of hierarchy, remove department rivalry as the department heads are removed, and reduce cost as fewer employees are required.
