Question 2

State the three priority determination questions and determine when an activity on the to-do list is to be delegated or assigned a high, medium, or low priority.

Accepted Answer

(1) Do I need to be personally involved? (2) Is the task my responsibility or will it affect the performance or finances of my department? and (3) Is quick action needed? Based on the answers to the three priority determination questions, a manager can delegate a task or assign it a high, medium, or low priority. The task is delegated if the answer to question 1 (Do I need to be personally involved?) is no. If the answer to question 1 is no, it is not necessary to answer questions 2 and 3 because a priority has not been assigned to the task. A high priority is assigned if you answer yes to all three questions. A medium priority is assigned if you answer yes to question 1 (you need to be involved) but no to either question 2 (it is not your major responsibility) or question 3 (quick action is not needed; it can wait). A low priority is assigned if you answer yes to question 1 (you need to be involved) but no to both questions 2 and 3. It is not your major responsibility, and quick action is not needed.
