Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A) Effective controlling gives managers a way to delegate authority but still make sure that empowered employees are progressing effectively toward organizational goals, making "empower their employees" the correct response and ruling out "minimize employee empowerment" since controlling maximizes rather than minimizes empowerment. Setting goals is not a correct response because controlling takes place long after goals have been set. "Maximize risk" can be eliminated as a correct response because effective controlling would serve to reduce, or minimize, risk, not maximize it.
