Leadership by Empowerment

Working closely with participants, you can use this video to explore what empowerment means in your organisation. This makes it relevant to your managers by helping them to get to grips with the subject from their own perspective.

The programme uses an empowerment wheel model based on four leadership behaviours, described as the four Es of empowerment. For each of these behaviours the programme identifies three areas of application, which are all illustrated in the video. You can use these examples to show how to foster and sustain a successful empowerment culture.

The four Es are:

How to Enthuse :

• about the mission
• about the organisation
• about quality

How to Explain :

• objectives
• decisions
• plans

How to Encourage :

• by consulting
• by active listening
• by recognising effort and achievement

How to Energise :

• by delegating and sharing responsibilities
• by developing people's strengths
• by creating a committed team
