If all your team members were empowered, using sensible independent judgment, and displaying appropriate initiative, what difference would that make? What difference would it make to team performance? What difference would it make to morale, engagement, and job satisfaction? What if you could make empowerment work? Managers ask all the time: How do I get my team members to show more (or any) initiative? But employees often ask : Why won’t my manager allow me to be more autonomous and trust me to take more initiative? That’s the paradox! This webinar considers four strategies to break this paradox. Each strategies approaches the paradox in different ways. This comes from Dr. Tim Baker's book, "Breaking the Proactive Paradox: Maximizing Performamnce Through Empowerment."
