Empowerment Continued

I think Empowerment is critical, so we will continue this discussion for a few days, and please feel free to provide your input, after all you are Empowered to do so. :-)

What can happen when someone makes a mistake after you empower them? I can tell you I personally lost confidence for a little bit of time. This can be tough to overcome, but this is where you need that strong Leader to support you. When I initially lost confidence in my decision making a (friend, leader and mentor) of mine came to the rescue. The mistake turned into a teaching moment, confidence was restored by positive reinforcement and reminded me why I was in the role I was in.
