QUESTION 27 OF 43

What is your definition of empowerment?

Empowerment is all about providing the right resources and trusting your staff to make decisions without having to come to you all the time. When staff feel empowered, they are able to work independently, creatively, and collaboratively to come up with quality solutions. Empowering your employees leads to added value and meaning, and it allows you, as a manager, to have more free time. It's a win-win!

"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."

Stephanie's Feedback

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!
