Please answer the question thoroughly in paragraph form. Thank you!

Delegation/Empowerment Exercise You are Adrian Jackson, Director of Sonoma County Hospital and your assistant is Pat Brennan. You are new in the job---hired only three months ago. Pat has held the assistant to the director position at the hospital for six years. The hospital has grown a great deal in recent years. New departments have been added and others have expanded considerably. To facilitate efficiency and coordination, you have decided that a re- organization is necessary. You delegated the re-organization plan to Pat five weeks ago. A memo was sent from you to all hospital personnel advising them of Pat's assignment and requesting their cooperation. Because of Pat's experience, you assumed that he would be able to do the re-organization plan with minimal supervision and that it would be completed with no problem by the dead line. The deadline is now one week away and you have heard nothing from Pat about how the project is going or when it will be completed. In retrospect, you realize that you should probably have kept closer tabs on Pat. However, because of Pat's extensive experience, you were concerned that he would interpret any monitoring negatively. The monthly staff meeting has just concluded and you have decided to meet with Pat to find out about the status of the project. You have asked Pat to stay for a few minutes after the meeting. In what ways have you NOT handled delegation/empowerment of this responsibility to Pat well
