Empowering Leadership

We all know the importance of managers balancing their time between task, team and individuals; between the important and the urgent; and the need to treat people as individuals, if they want to succeed. These are the foundations of good management.

But once ‘business as usual’ is taking care of itself, leaders and managers can start to fulfil their main purpose, which is to drive performance, innovate and build the future. They can’t do this if they are micro-managing day-to-day operations.

Adopting an 'Empowering' Leadership Style will enable leaders to step back, and team members to step up. This means the simple decisions are made at the lowest level possible rather than cluttering up the leaders day with small decisions and trivial matters.

This workshop is all about creating this atmosphere and adopting this leadership style. By completing this Workshop you will be able to:

• Describe the benefits of being an empowering leader.
• Recognise the characteristics of empowering leaders.
• Identify blocks, barriers and traps that make being an empowering leader difficult.
• Describe specific actions that will develop an empowering leadership style.
