From the Paper:

"As can be seen from this example, Drucker was very interested in time, and the various ways that people waste it when they think that they are doing something productive. By wasting their own time, or someone else's, they actually get much less done than they think they do. Another problem that Drucker addressed was delegation of authority. Often, managers and others who are in positions of power do not realize how many of the things that they do every day could easily be done by someone else. Managers who realize this are often still reluctant, because they think that delegating these tasks may make others think that the manager is not needed, because others are doing his or her job."
