10 Ways to empower employees

1. Understand that there is a need for change. Change is a process which has a beginning but no end.
2. Provide a clear role to play. The people will lose interest unless specific roles of authority and responsibility      
    are defined.
3. Provide them appropriate education and training.
4. Provide the resources to get the job done. No amount of delegated authority or responsibility can guarantee
    success.
5. Allow the freedom to be creative and innovative.
6. Allow and encourage the freedom to lead without fear.
7. Give people the authority to exercise their best  judgement without fearing retaliation of any kind.
8. Make people responsible to improve continuously. Delegating authority without including responsibility is
    useless.
9. Give people the recognition they deserve.
10 . Give people a sense of ownership.
