Damian Hogan · Answer 1

delegation of authority

Explanation:

Louise projects a part of the work to her subordinates, and this is referred to as the delegation of authority. Her job duty is to delegate tasks to subordinates efficiently, and it shouldn't be considered as a way of putting in less effort. A manager (especially a project manager) has the duty of segregating the project into chunks and efficiently delegating it to colleagues.
