Have you thought about why it might be important to empower others on your team? And what is empowerment anyway? Many leaders struggle with the concept of empowerment, but do little to make it come alive. Creating a culture of empowerment can move a team’s performance from good to exceptional, from working on a particular project to teaming up for extraordinary results.

Empowerment can be defined as giving others authority to reach their goals as they see fit. Empowerment provides others the opportunities to make  their own decisions and choices. The ultimate goal of empowerment is developing an environment of trust, where every team member is accountable for their own actions.
