The document discusses empowerment and defines it as increasing individuals' or groups' capacity to make choices and transform those choices into actions and outcomes. Empowerment can be social, political, economic, or educational/cultural. It involves giving responsibility and ownership while working towards common objectives. Empowerment provides autonomy for individuals to make decisions while respecting users' participation. Barriers to empowerment include lack of understanding, failure to set boundaries, and poor communication. Leaders empower others through delegated power, local control, and limited ownership. True leadership commits to helping followers.

 "Leadership must be based on goodwill... It means obvious and wholehearted
commitment to helping followers... What we need for leaders are men of

jobs. But leaders like that are never out of a job, never out of followers.
Strange as it sounds, great leaders gain authority by giving it away."
