Delegated authority creates jurisdictional conflicts that entangle intermediaries in divided loyalties.

Evidence

After Horkheimer had left the directorship of the department in Flowerman’s hands, conflicts over their areas of responsibility developed between them. Horkheimer saw Marie Jahoda, who worked with Flowerman in New York, as an ally who, `in the capacity of a liaison officer’, would carefully maintain what he had tried to initiateas he put it in a letter to her. But Jahoda soon found herself being caught in conflicting loyalties. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 420
