More about Empowering Excellence...

Empowering Excellence is more than just giving employees autonomy in the workplace. Organizational hierarchies too often unwittingly deflate the efforts of senior leaders to empower their employees. As a result, the promise of empowerment seems empty and becomes more of a punchline rather than a reality. In this way, flatter organizations that intentionally allow for self-organization and collaborative decision-making are more conducive for implementing an empowering work environment. Likewise, it takes individuals with an entrepreneurial mindset (intrepreneurs) who value collaboration and engagement to thrive in such empowering work environments. Therefore, Empowering Excellence is about bringing together flatter organizations with self-motivated individuals in a way that produces the energy, innovation, and adaptability that is needed to deal with complex and volatile market conditions.

Together, these concepts give a unique perspectives to leaders and followers in organizational settings that in turn, unlock exceptional results.
