Which statement indicates that successful learning has taken place at a "how to" course on successful delegation?
1. "Delegation has no benefit on our unit, since our clients are frequently admitted and then discharged so quickly."
2. "I never knew I could actually save time for myself and save organizational resources by thoughtfully delegating tasks to others."
3. "I just don't understand how people think delegation is not a benefit to everyone; all you have to do is tell other people what to do."
4. "I never knew delegation only required me to tell others what to do, and by when to have it completed."
Answer: 2
Rationale: Delegation does save time and resources if done effectively, which benefits all levels of the organization. All units have time to delegate because delegators explain the task specifics, and then can move on to the next priority task. The delegate not only needs to know what to do, and when it needs to be completed, but also needs to know why the delegator needs the delegate to do it.
