Empowerment

I've heard people talk about empowering others, but that's not exactly how it happens. People can't be empowered, they have to take it.

We can provide the means and the opportunity for people to become empowered - to seize the reins - but that has to come from them.

We might wish for people to take command of a certain situation or to run their business or profit center with more authority or autonomy, but they have to embrace this leadership and run with it.

Leadership is taken or assumed, it is not given.
