194. Empower, Don't Abandon
Manage episode 505509175 series 3450263
Empowerment sounds good on paper, but in the workplace it often falls short.
Especially in leadership stretch moments, like promotions and novel, high-stakes projects, what leaders call empowerment can feel like abandonment to the person on the receiving end.
In this episode, we look at the history of empowerment in organizations, explore how the brain reacts in stretch moments, and share practical ways leaders can provide just the right level of support to turn stretch into strength.
