Objectives:
You are accustomed to being the decision-maker, problem-solver, planner, manager, and instructor—essentially, the one in charge.
Transitioning to empowering others will be a significant shift from this familiarity, as it involves relinquishing a portion of that control along with various accompanying responsibilities to your team.
It's completely natural to feel some apprehension about this change, especially if you are new to empowerment.
You might worry that your role will become unnecessary; however, the reality is quite the opposite—your team will rely on you more than ever!
While you may delegate substantial control, you remain ultimately accountable for the team’s work.
Granting authority to others does not equate to losing your own; you continue to set the goals and parameters, and your team will still seek your support, guidance, and encouragement.
