Do you want your team members to reach their full potential, as they shoot for the stars? If so, you need to give them power. When a leader can’t or won’t empower others, he creates barriers within the organization that people cannot overcome. If the barriers persist, people move to another organization where they can maximize their potential, or even worse, they stay in your organization and give up.
If you want to be an Out of This World Leader, you have to empower others. As Theodore Roosevelt put it, “The best executive is one who has the sense enough to pick good men to do what he wants done, and the self-restraint enough to keep from meddling with them while they do it.”
John Maxwell’s 12th Law of Leadership—the Law of Empowerment—notes “only secure leaders give power to others.”
