Recommendation

The author of The One Minute Manager switches gears and tells you not to manage your employees minute-by-minute. Instead, Ken Blanchard, along with John P. Carlos, and Alan Randolph, advocates and explains the notion of empowerment – giving your employees the information and authority to act and make decisions on their own, within a structured set of organizational goals and values. Presented as the story of a turnaround manager getting tutored by an empowerment mentor, the book establishes the fundamentals of the theory of empowerment in a conversational and enjoyable style. This quick, informative read will expand your management horizons in only a few short minutes.

Take-Aways

  • Empowerment comes from a sense of ownership.
  • The empowerment process has to start from the top and be driven by values.
  • True empowerment comes from releasing the power of knowledge and motivation.
