ÒEmpowermentÓ is not a tangible thing. It is a personal ÒfeelingÓ that only exists within you. You will choose how you ÒfeelÓ by the how you are being treated (the words and actions of the people around you). Feeling empowered is something you choose. Understanding what influences that choice to Òfeel empoweredÓ is what this book is all about.
This is not a self-help book. It will give you practical communication skills that will help you ÒInfluenceÓ other people. How you use this skill will determine whether you ÒempowerÓ people or ÒdestroyÓ the people you want to ÒInfluenceÓ.
I have designed it for Executives, Managers and Supervisors as a ÒPeople SkillsÓ reference handbook.
ÒEmpowermentÓ is a gift that is yours to give. It is also a gift that you can unknowingly withhold. Either way, your employees are smart enough to figure out which you normally do.
