Empowerment takes more than a minute

These expert authors explain how to empower the workforce by moving from a control-and-be-controlled mindset to a supportive, responsibility-centered environment in which all employees have the opportunity to do their best. They explain how to build responsibility and trust, and they define the three essential keys to making empowerment work in large and small organizations: 1. sharing information with everyone; 2. creating autonomy through boundaries; and 3. replacing old hierarchies with self-managed teams. Empowerment Takes More Than a Minute reveals the dilemmas and paradoxes inherent in attempting to create an empowered workplace and culture. The authors present a clear case in support of the bottom-line value of empowerment, and provide a masterful plan for getting there.
