Empowerment involves giving employees authority, skills, resources and accountability to utilize their full potential and contribute to organizational goals. It shifts from a system with many management layers and static goals, to one where employees can intelligently and creatively perform their roles. Empowering leadership develops an organizational structure that facilitates collective involvement in decision making. The process of empowerment values employees, shares vision, builds trust, provides information and feedback, solves problems, and offers training and support.
