I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'i'm unwilling to delegate?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'surprisingly not for a clerk' is the wordplay.
'surprisingly' indicates an anagram (a surprising ordering of the letters).
'not'+'for'+'a'+'clerk'='notforaclerk'
'notforaclerk' is an anagram of 'CONTROL FREAK'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for control freak that I've seen before include "Person feeling the need to dominate" , "One with a compulsive desire to manipulate others" , "Person with a compulsion to be in charge" .)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
