      Answer Example

      "Empowerment in the workplace means employees feel welcome to take calculated risks and work independently. Creating an environment that fosters empowerment is important because it allows employees to take ownership of their work, to think outside of the box, to provide quality feedback and solutions, to feel successful as an active member of a team, and to develop professionally. This is important to me when managing a team of employees."

      This is a great working definition, but I suggest that you include a specific example of how you have empowered others (or been empowered yourself.) A specific example will make this response much more memorable!
