Empowerment of individuals is
the Key.
Managers must learn to let go
of command-and-control
leadership styles.
Bosses today can no longer
play the traditional role of
telling people what, when, and
how to do everything.

people know more
about the work than they
do.

successful, organizations and
leaders must develop self-
leadership in the workforce - who
have the skills to take the
initiative.
