Empowerment
How do you Empower People?
We’ve noticed recently, especially when working with organisations that have merged with or acquired other companies, we’ve been asked to do the ’empowerment thing’.
“Our staff are feeling unmotivated, they’re not being proactive, they’re not taking responsibility. We need them to be empowered – do something to help us.“
Easy enough to say, but what on earth does it mean?
You’re empowered to do what I want you to do? You’re empowered to do what you want to do?
It’s certainly not just telling people they’re empowered and expecting them to understand what you mean. ‘OK, you’re empowered, see you.’
Empowered To Do What I Want You To Do
When manager use the word empowerment, we think a lot of them really mean:
“First, I want you to see the world exactly the way I do, then I want you to do what I want, when I want it, in the way I want it done.“
With that attitude, it’s the manager who’s being empowered here, not the staff!
You see, empowerment is a dangerous thing.
What if the other person doesn’t want what I want?
They might go off on some wild tangent that wasn’t in my original game plan.
Then what. If once they get empowered they start doing things differently?
