Core4 Principles: Empowerment
People want the opportunity to participate in decisions that affect them.
Energetic participation delivers more effective decisions and stronger buy-in.
Focus: Solutions for effective change are embedded in your organization. The best decisions are those that engage the imagination and the participation of your people.
Ask Yourself:
- How are decisions made in my organization?
- Do our decision-making processes encourage participation from those closest to the work?
- How well do my employees support decisions made without their input?
Take-Aways:
- Methods and practice in brainstorming, proposing, and deciding.
- A systematic practice of initiating, honing, and implementing ideas with participation across multiple levels of the organization.
- Leadership skills that promote the insight and creativity needed for effective problem solving.
