In this episode , we’ll be talking a look at Empowerment. A very powerful state that will put your career or personal situation into overdrive. 

What
* Authority or power given to someone to do something: individuals are given empowerment to create their own dwellings.
* Essentially the freedom to express one’s talent in order to accomplish tasks. 
    * In addition in a the wider context of an entire job or project
* Example - at work being entrusted to make decisions. Importantly, being allowed to fail. 
* On a personal level, as parents, we should be encouraged to allow our children to undertake tasks. The development is about learning and they should be entrusted to do so eg doing shoelaces - let them!
How
* Trusting subordinates or lower-ranking colleagues to do work - building selfconfidence
* Allowing mistakes and Fuckupability
* Encouraging creativity. Creativity is the child of empowerment. Allowing others to develop ideas freely without undue or unwanted intervention. 
* Example - delegating - passing more tasks onto team members. Not dumping work on them but allowing them to take ownership of tasks and their job. 
 * I had a boss that told me once: Been after three years, you shouldn’t be here
