A manager or senior exec who "handballs" or refuses to take responsibility for anything that goes wrong. Blames others. From the saying "Nothing sticks to Teflon"

To "delegate" work to others in the workplace/department when you don't want to take responsibility for the possible ramifiactions, or can't be arsed to do the work.
