This document discusses empowering individuals and organizations. It defines empowerment as giving people more freedom and control over their circumstances to achieve their goals. Employee empowerment involves sharing information, rewards, and power so employees can make decisions and solve problems. Empowering employees leads to greater job satisfaction, motivation, innovation, and performance. Organizations that empower their employees by delegating responsibilities, setting clear expectations, providing autonomy and resources, and recognizing good work will see benefits like increased productivity, better customer service, and reduced supervision needs. Empowerment of both individuals and employees is important for the growth and success of organizations.
