Empowerment: “Giving Leadership Away”

Empowerment for Success

The first thought of most new leaders is not empowerment.  Instead, they believe they need to take on more work.   But the more the leader takes on, the less motivated the team members become.  Leaders should provide tools, motivation and direction.  However, the team members need to do the actual work.  As a result, the responsibility for a team’s success rests on all team members, not the leader alone.  Unfortunately, many leaders get no formal training in empowerment.  But this program can help both new and experienced leaders take on that challenge.

In this video, a newly promoted team leader first learns that empowerment is not as easy as it seems. But surprisingly, a solution comes  from a jar of Legos and some unconventional advice. They provide him with the direction he needs to finally begin giving leadership away and fostering everyone’s potential.
