The sense of empowerment as discussed in the text of this
article can be defined in different lights depending on the needs of the
employees. When you give the employee a sense of empowerment I think and
totally agree with this authors understanding of the term of empowerment. I
think that if you have to tell the employee that you are giving them a sense of
empowerment than you really aren’t.
I had a supervisor that I will have to say clearly defines
the role of a leader who gives his employees a sense of empowerment. This
supervisor was very good at allowing you to shape your own destiny and making
your own decisions on how your career will go. This leader and I can call him
this was fantastic on empowering me as an employee to make my own decisions
In the article the author discusses different types of
empowerment where he ends up being defined as a sense of empowerment where the
leader defines each type of empowerment the employee can have. The author
defines each type of empowerment and uses different examples to show what each
term of empowerment means and how these different examples can be used in order
to empower the employee. The author also uses the negatives of some of these
terms and how not to use these different types of empowerments. The author
cautions that by empowering the employee is a task that can back fire if the
way the empowering takes place is not done correctly.
I think that I agree with the author that in order to truly empower
the employee you should not have to tell the employee that you are empowering
them. This should be the employee’s self-motivation in order to empower
themselves. Empowerment is a fluid term
that can be determined by the situation and by the employee’s mindset. If the
employee is a critical thinker than the chances of successful empowerment can
be improved.
