4.0 out of 5 stars Empowerment causes fear in managers!, 21 Mar 1999
By A Customer
At last: acknowledgement that the difficulties in empowering others are not just lack of commitment of workers. Blanchard uses his the same story telling technique to get some good messages across. Any irritation is balanced by some novel perspectives. Basic belief in people underlies empowerment. People are afraid to do their best because organisations are set up to catch people doing things wrong rather than reward them for doing things right. Empowerment more about the attitude of the leader. Leaders fear that they will lose their job through empowering others: however, their job changes from directing controlling and supervising to helping team be more effective (i.e. you work for them). Share information first rather than setting goals first: top down goal setting assumes all brains at the top of the organisation - whereas sharing information develops trust. Create autonomy through boundaries: defines values and rules that underlie desired beliefs and supports decision making - without guidelines people revert back to unempowered habits. Compelling visions emotionally and intellectually crystallise values, nature and purpose of business. Get employees to list ten things that they think you hold them accountable for. Empowering others means that become less dependent upon you. Leaders need to follow rule: don't just do something, stand there, i.e. allow others to act. Position power replaced by expertise, relationships and accountability. Boundaries as guidelines for action once sufficient information to understand current situation. Paradox: rules and structures required to initiate empowerment but these rules and structures must support the new values. Empowerment means freedom to act and accountability for results. In hierarchical organisations people look up to their bosses instead of out to the customers. Empowered people do not look up the hierarchy for answers; they take responsibility for resolving problems where they occur. Another paradox: to be held accountable you want to be in control, but if you want to empower people you have to relinquish control - scary for managers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clear, concise insights into empowerment., 13 Mar 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Empowerment Takes More Than a Minute (Hardcover)
The authors use a story format to explain the nature and process of achieving empowerment. The focus is on sharing information with everyone, creating autonomy through boundaries, and replacing the old hierarchy with self-directed teams. Clear and concise.

5.0 out of 5 stars Get the best from your team - it works, 18 Sep 2005
By Paul Shrimpling (Derbyshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book and it's follow up how-to guide continue to prove that they're founded on great principles. I've recently read a biography of Admiral Nelson and realise that empowerment is not an american import! During good times or more challenging times the info in this book provide a source of inspiration, a guide and how-to suggestions. When coupled with sensitive and determined decision making it could help transform most organisations - this depends on the ability of the leader as always, however this little tome can impact on your leadership style significantly. Well worth a read, and a re-read and testing whether stuff works - it has for me, repeatedly.
