Empowering the People in Your Organization
In the workplace, the word “empower” is often thought of in its traditional definition, of enabling someone, or equipping them with an ability. The task of empowering usually falls to an organization’s managers. To succeed in empowering their employees, they need more than a vague idea of what empowerment means. They need an entirely new approach to management
Manager as Coach
At Distinct Planning, we offer a Coaching Manager workshop. This intensive workshop incorporates case studies and experience-based learning to show managers how to use coaching techniques to help their staff achieve and succeed. It is followed up by individual coaching sessions for managers to help them take what they learned and implement it in their day-to-day work.
Empowerment is not just a function of managers. It is a two-way street. A coach approach extends the concept of empowerment outward from the manager to the employees, enabling the manager to make their employees equal partners in their own advancement.
With a thorough knowledge of coaching skills, managers become more than just bosses – they act as mentors and allies for employees, helping them set goals and overcome challenges and obstacles.
When their managers use a coach approach, employees are motivated to respond to efforts at empowerment. They feel supported and capable of taking advantage of the opportunities given to them.
