This episode is all about Empowerment. The term has been overused in the context of new work, but when we dive deeper into its meaning, we realize how important it is in order to create an effective organization. The main idea of empowerment lies within the creation of an operating system driven by the underlying assumption that people truly want to create value. As leaders, we're responsible for providing a safe space, meaningful tools, and confidence to empower individuals and a team to create value. Whereas being in control was a core strength of a leader in the past, letting go of control for the sake of productivity is a core strength of a leader today.  Hosted on Acast.
