In
losing organizations, people are
the most underutilized
resource.
In the
new knowledge economy,
independent
intrapreneurship and initiative is needed throughout the ranks
of your
organization.
Involvement in an organization is no longer a one-way
street. In today's corporate environment a manager must work towards
engaging organization forcefully enough to achieve its objectives.

If you give people tools, [and they use] their natural ability and their
curiosity, they will develop things in ways that will
surprise
you very much beyond what you might have expected. |

Empowerment is the oil that
lubricates the exercise of learning. Talented and empowered human capital is
becoming the prime ingredient of
organizational IQ and
organizational success. A critical feature
of
successful teams, especially in
knowledge-driven enterprises, is that
they are invested with a significant degree of empowerment, or
decision-making authority.
Equally important, employee
empowerment changes the
managers' mind-set and leaves them with more time to
engage in broad-based thinking,
visioning, nurturing, and
working on the business. This intelligent and productive division of
duties between
entrepreneurial leaders, focusing on emerging
opportunities, and empowered employees, running the business unit day to day
(with oversight on the leader's part) provides for a
well-managed enterprise
with strong
growth potential. |
