Be Their Cheerleader and Mentor
Be their megaphone.
Everyone needs autonomy and trust, but remember to lend a helping hand.
Amplify their accomplishments on your platforms and networks.
Providing those types of opportunities can help create a powerful culture of employee empowerment.
When fear is eliminated, creativity is unleashed and innovation flourishes.
To truly build empowerment, you should probably communicate.

Allow Employees to Spearhead Initiatives
Businesses have challenges and opportunities.
Often, our own employees understand these better than anyone sometimes even more than the C-suite crew!
Its powerful and smart to assign employees to spearhead initiatives.
And I mean really run them not just be a figurehead on a committee.
Get that employee to zero in on the opportunity, develop a plan and execute it.
You might be quite surprised!
This makes employees feel valued and involved in the decision-making that drives success.
Employees can act fast, address issues and adapt.
Ownership and initiative rise.
Frameworks, guidelines and training are key.
