The Biggest Killer of Empowerment (and 3 Ways to Fix It)

Are your people truly empowered, or just waiting for permission? Find out here.

“Empowerment” is a word that seems to be used in an increasingly offhanded, throw-away fashion. When that happens, it loses both its meaning and its power.

But, despite the dumbing down of empowerment, it’s still one of the most critical ingredients of execution.

In this episode, I uncover some of the nuances of empowerment which, even though you may not be aware of them, are probably holding your people back and diminishing your own effectiveness. 

Going a layer deeper here, I reveal the #1 killer of empowerment, and I give you my 3 pro tips to stop you from disempowering your people.
