Confidence and empowerment are cousins in my opinion. Empowerment comes from within and typically it's stemmed and fostered by self-assurance. To feel empowered is to feel free and that's when people do their best work. You can't fake confidence or empowerment.

Ultimately what I end up writing about is helplessness and the flipside of that, empowerment.

Excessive fear is always powerless.

Power can be taken, but not given. The process of the taking is empowerment in itself.

Empowerment is not about doing the same thing the same way in the same environment. It's about building the man and the woman and doing so with a view to creating better citizens and, by extension, better patriots in this society of ours.

In the beginning, fear was the dominant motivating force.

The constant assertion of belief is an indication of fear.

The thing you fear most has no power. Your fear of it is what has the power. Facing the truth really will set you free.

Empowerment isn't a buzzword among leadership gurus. It's a proven technique where leaders give their teams the appropriate training, tools, resources, and guidance to succeed.

It is important that you appreciate that the workplace must be a place of empowerment, but the empowerment must not only be connected to the job that you do.
