Student's Guide
8. Get input from employees. Find out their
concept of empowerment. Determine to
what degree employees already feel
empowered. This can be done through a
survey (preferably anonymously). This step
is risky because it can raise expectations.
This should only be done if you have definite
plans to proceed. However, it should be
done prior to developing an elaborate
strategy for empowering employees.
If the goal of empowerment is motivational,
you have to find out what the employees
want. On the other hand, if the goal of
empowerment is to reduce the work load of
middle management, you have to get
employee buy-in; otherwise, it will flop.
9. Determine skills necessary for
empowerment. It cannot be assumed that
managers and employees have the skills
necessary to transfer power. The first step is
to determine what skills are necessary for
shifting power. Managers will need the skills
necessary to determine what decisions are
appropriate for staff to make.
Employees must know how to make
decisions, how to prioritize, when not to
make decisions, what the boundaries are,
etc. Once the skills have been identified, it is
important to know who has the requisite skills
and who doesn't. Some type of assessment
is necessary.
