EMPLOYEE EMPOWERMENT. How To Empower Employees - Harvesting the Creative and Emotional Power of All Your Employees (Your first-ever Business e-Coach)

Employee Empowerment

Harvest the Creative and Emotional Power of All Your People

Employee empowerment creates great benefits for your organization, its teams and employees.

The Loving Creator created us in his likeness. We are all loving creators by birth. To unlock their true potential, people need get empowered − from within in life, and from outside in hierarchies.

People are your firm's most underutilized resource. In the new knowledge-based economy, independent entrepreneurship and initiative is needed throughout the ranks of your organization.

People Power

People as your most important asset. Your technologies, products and structures can be copied by competitors.

No one, however, can match your highly charged, motivated people who care. People are your firm's repository of knowledge and they are central to your company's competitive advantage.

Empower people around you. Well educated, coached, and highly motivated people are critical to the development and execution of strategies, especially in today's faster-paced, more perplexing world, where top management alone can no longer assure your firm's competitiveness.

Managers assume more leadership and coaching tasks, balance between management and empowerment, and work hard to provide employees with resources and working conditions they need to accomplish the goals they've agreed to.

Empowerment through Coaching

The new breed of leaders recognizes that in today's complex business environment autocracy no longer works, yet the empowerment alone is not enough. Coaching aims to enhance the learning ability and performance of others.

"It involves providing feedback, but also uses other techniques such as motivation, effective questioning and consciously matching your management style to the player's readiness to undertake a particular task. It is based on helping the player to help her/himself through interacting dynamically with her/him - it does not rely on a one-way flow of telling and instructing."⁵...More

Keep People In The Know

"Transformational leaders empower others by keeping them "in the know," by keeping them fully informed on everything that effects their jobs," says Brian Tracy.

"People want and need to feel that they are “insiders,” that they are aware of everything that is going on. There is nothing so demoralizing to a staff member than to be kept in the dark about their work and what is going on in the company."... More

Case in Point Jack Welch and GE

Some years ago, in locations throughout GE, local managers were operating in an insulated environment with Chinese walls separating them, both horizontally and vertically, from other departments and their workforce. Employee questions, initiatives, and feedback were discouraged.

In the new knowledge-driven economy, Jack Welch, CEO, GE, "viewed this as anathema. He believed in creating an open collaborative workplace where everyone's opinion was welcome."³ He wrote in a letter to shareholders: "If you want to get the benefit of everything employees have, you've got to free them – make everybody a participant. Everybody has to know everything, so they can make the right decisions by themselves."
