Development and Empowerment of Others
Introduction
Effective leaders often are linked to words that have positive connotations. Two such words that you explore this week are development and empowerment. When you consider something that is not developed, you may think of it as incomplete, unprepared, and generally underperforming. On the other hand, when you reflect on something that is "developed," you may think of something that is ready, complete, and performing well. What about the word empower? What does it mean? What does it mean to develop others versus empower people? This week, you explore the meanings of development and empowerment. You also consider one specific context in which effective leaders empower others: facilitating change and helping those involved in the change cope with, adapt to, and even embrace it.
