A Lean Journey 
On Fridays I will post a Lean related Quote. Throughout our lifetimes many people touch our lives and leave us with words of wisdom. These can both be a source of new learning and also a point to pause and reflect upon lessons we have learned. Within Lean active learning is an important aspect on this journey because without learning we can not improve.
“Empowerment is all about letting go so others can get going.” — Jack Welch
Empowerment
may not be a new concept to you, but many organizations experience problems
because they don’t know how to ‘live it’. Employee empowerment has been
described and defined in many ways but is generally accepted as: the process of
enabling an employee to think, behave, act, react and control their work in
more autonomous ways, as to be in control of one’s own destiny.

Many
managers feel that by empowering employees, they relinquish the responsibility
to lead and control the organization. This is not the case. Empowerment is
actually a culmination of many of the ideas and tenets of employee
satisfaction.

The
best way to empower employees is not to manage them. Coach them to success.
This is a process of developing their skills and providing them specific
feedback to meet high standards. Employees want to be on the same team with
their bosses.

Empowering
employees is the ongoing process of providing the tools, training, resources;
encouragement and motivation your workers need to perform at the optimum level.
When you show an employee you trust them, and give them timely information and
the authority to find solutions, they will be able to solve problems and
provide solutions more rapidly than someone without that empowerment.
