Let me tell you why empowering your team beats controlling them

“Am I an empowering team leader?”

Have you ever asked yourself this question?

Why?

Simple…

1  An empowered team is a happy team
2  Happy teams make happy customers

Empowerment is the difference between a great customer experience and a negative one.

Why?

• It motivates your employees
• It increases trust in leadership
• It improves creativity
• It improves engagement

What are the signs of a team who aren't empowered?

• There is little delegation
• There is a lack of interest in their well-being
• There is little consultation

If you want a motivated engaged team … make sure you empower them

• Give them more autonomy and responsibility
• Help them grow, develop and progress
• Give them a voice and welcome their feedback

This is why it makes sense to be an empowering team leader rather than a controlling one.
