Empower Your Team With This Simple Exercise

There is a direct correlation between employee engagement and empowerment. Employees who feel empowered have a higher level of job satisfaction, which leads to better results and outcomes than those who do not feel empowered.

As with trust, empowerment is built over time.

Don’t play the fool and assume your team feels empowered. Take action to create and maintain a culture of empowerment.

During the interview process and honeymoon period, your new employee is excited, engaged, and eager to be your next superstar. They can’t wait to show you the impact they can make and want to use their skills and knowledge to do so.

You hired them for the same reasons. You saw potential, confirmed they had the right skills and experience, and vetted them as a cultural fit. So why would you not let them do what they were hired to do?
