WAYS<br />

TO EMPOWER<br />

YOUR TEAM<br />

It’s a firm favourite of many but micro-managing is time consuming<br />

and ineffective. Strong leaders build strong teams around them<br />

through empowerment and trust. Here’s a quick overview of how:.<br />

Tell people<br />

What you want to achieve<br />

and involve them in<br />

finding ways to achieve it.<br />

Set out expectations<br />

Ensure everyone knows what their<br />

role is and what part they play.<br />

Use positive language<br />

And plenty of enthusiasm<br />

and encouragement.<br />

Highlight successes<br />

And show the<br />

way forwards,<br />

learning from<br />

failings.<br />

Provide mentors<br />

in the form of<br />

buddies or<br />

more formal<br />

coaching as<br />

required.<br />

Make individuals<br />

Personally<br />

accountable<br />

for their results,<br />

you want<br />

a professional<br />

team producing<br />

professional results.<br />

Ensure individuals<br />

Have the tools and equipment<br />

and training required to carry out<br />

their role fully and to the best<br />

of their ability.<br />

Seek high standards<br />

And then incrementally<br />

raise the bar.<br />

Recognise<br />

And reward successes<br />

but be mindful that<br />

individuals have different<br />

ways that they will want<br />

to be rewarded and<br />

which will motivate<br />

them to continue.<br />
