delegators
Those who assign
Delegators are people who assign tasks or responsibilities to others.
The term appears most often in management and organizational contexts, where effective delegating is considered a leadership skill: Good delegators know which tasks to hand off and which to keep.
Someone who delegates authority rather than micromanaging is a delegator.
