The number one thing you can do to create a culture of empowerment is to let your employees do the job you hired them to do. If you are constantly correcting, changing or looking over everything your employees do, they will never feel empowered. Trust is a key component to feeling empowered, and it allows your employees to react to situations as they see fit and also feel safe to make a mistake! –

I tell all our employees that no one at our company has ever been fired for making a mistake. Making it clear that messing up will not end someone’s career makes it much easier for that person to think for themself, step out of their comfort zone and take risks. When fear is eliminated, creativity is unleashed — and innovation flourishes. –

Businesses have challenges and opportunities. Often, our own employees understand these better than anyone — sometimes even more than the C-suite crew! It’s 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.
