Empowering Your People

As a leader you are expected to delegate much of the work to others. Empowering others involves giving them authority and responsibility for each assignment. It also means that you maintain accountability for the results that are achieved.

Your success as a leader is directly related to your ability to motivate the people who report to you to achieve goals. While motivating people is a significant step towards achieving extraordinary results, leadership extends beyond motivation to managing the day-by-day activity of the people who work for you.

This course addresses building relationships with the people you lead.
