Where Empowered Teams Come From

Where Empowered Teams Come From

"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:

  • People want to go a good job.
  • People are doing their best
  • People want autonomy at work.

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:

  • People need to do it my way.
  • I need to fix people's mistakes.
  • No one can do it as well as I can.

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?

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.
