The question of power and "empowerment" do tend to collide often, and the winner is generally the former. I hope you enjoyed the follow-on posts. Thanks for your visit, and also for your writing at your own excellent site! Hello Pat,

I agree completely with your observation that managers can cultivate the power of individuals, but not co-opt it. The question of power and “empowerment” do tend to collide often, and the winner is generally the former.

I hope you enjoyed the follow-on posts. Thanks for your visit, and also for your writing at your own excellent site!

Do we empower others or do we disempower them? What does power look like in an organization? What's leadership's attachment to their own power? Managers can cultivate an individual's inner power, but the person owns their own power. I will definitely keep my eye on your further comments on this subject.

Managers can cultivate an individual’s inner power, but the person owns their own power.

I will definitely keep my eye on your further comments on this subject. Thanks
