Why Should I Empower Others To LEAD?

You’ve likely heard—The role of a leader is to create vision, set expectations, and lead by example.  But leaders also determine the course of action for others to follow.  That involves allowing others to participate in the vision by setting their own expectations and determining their own example by which to lead.  We call this “Empowerment”.

When teams feel they have empowerment, they’re more likely to take ownership for their roles and the larger goals of the organization.  They become more accountable for their actions, and they care about the results they achieve.

It’s these teams that create an organization which is nimble and responsive to the needs of customers/clients.  They manage themselves under the direction of a leader who trusts them to do what is right for their role, and right for the organization.
