Service / Empowerment Leader

An empowerment leader is someone who creates mutual trust, and not just someone who only manages.

In organizations that have realized empowerment, managers are functioning as empowerment leaders. They are fully aware of the importance of developing their staff and have shifted their style from the traditional command and control to trust and followership (empowerment leadership) . They promote and support their staff to think on their own, and create plans to achieve tasks, and then to execute those plans.

The main job of a manager is to lead the team, in an environment that is constantly changing

The job of a manager has changed significantly in the last 10 years. There no longer exists any just a “Manager”. The main job of a manager , in an ever-changing environment, is to lead the Team. A manager needs to be a Change Leader, which differs significantly from the form of management used to date. Under an organization that must change speedily, all managers must obtain new skills.

In order to lead a team in a changing environment, various views are required

In the process of leading members, within a changing environment, guides for leading Leaders are not limited to just one. While performance is expected to be maintained, under chaotic conditions, Teams can become confused and become disappointed. It can be expected that there will be various responses from the members. Leaders need to be able to lead a team, studying multiple options, from various angles, in order lead change.
