Where Empowered Teams Come From
Brandon R Allen
25 years working with leaders to help them organize their work life and transform their relationships by helping them see what they can’t see and do what they didn’t think possible.
"Why does my team require so much hand holding?"
I hear this question a lot in various forms.
When it comes to team, I try my best to operate with the following ideas in mind:
If people want those things, what holds them back?
Leaders.
If you want an empowered team, it requires being an empowering leader.
If you walk around thinking:
If these are your thoughts, your behaviors likely support those thoughts.
You create a team that is dependent on your smarts, skill, and desire to function.
You are the bottleneck. What needs to shift to get you out of the way?

10 个月As a former client of, I am thrilled to see his commitment to leadership and empowerment. Reading Brandon Allen's insightful article on leadership and recognizing the potential within team members really resonated with me. Brandon's approach is a perfect example of this philosophy. During my work with him, I witnessed firsthand how he empowers his team, encouraging them to step into their own power and take ownership of their roles. This not only created a supportive and autonomous environment but also ensured that each team member was doing their best work. I realized that in my own professional journey, I was often the bottleneck, believing that things could only be done one way – my way. Brandon's leadership style taught me the importance of trust and delegation. By empowering team members and recognizing their strengths, I’ve been able to get out of my own way and let them shine. I'm not perfect, but a lot better than before. Thank you for this post Brandon.
