The First Steps Toward Empowering Your Team

Empowerment is a term we hear often, but what does it truly mean in the workplace? For many, empowerment is more of a buzzword than a reality—a concept that’s talked about but rarely implemented effectively. In this course, you’ll get practical strategies to take your first steps toward building a culture of empowerment. First, you’ll define what empowerment means and how it can enable your team to think, plan, and act confidently within clear boundaries. Then, you’ll learn about the three states of empowerment and how your leadership choices can influence these states. Finally, you’ll explore a step-by-step process to assess empowerment within your team through structured discussions and actionable insights. After taking this course, you’ll be able to create a workplace where empowerment is not just a concept but a practice—one that drives innovation, accountability, and trust.

This course is part of the Empowerment Pocketbook series, a series that provides practical techniques on how to create an empowerment culture that benefits both the organization and the individual.
