Empowerment Takes More Than a Minute

Beschreibung

The Three Keys to Making Empowerment Work for You
Empowerment Takes More Than a Minute explains that empowerment is not "giving power to people." Rather, it is "releasing the knowledge, experience, and motivation they already have." Drawing on ten years of research and consultation with a wide variety of companies, the authors define three essential keys for achieving true empowerment:
1. Share information with everyone
2. Create autonomy through boundaries
3. Replace hierarchical thinking with self-managed teams
With these keys in place, employees will be able to make good business decisions for themselves rather than relying on superiors, and be able to draw from each other the skills and knowledge necessary to get the job done.
Written in an engaging format, Empowerment Takes More Than a Minute provides a practical plan and checklists to help managers and employees achieve true, bottom-line empowerment in their organizations.
