5 Ways to Empower Your Team

As a leader, you may know how important

it is to have a team or group of people who

are willing to succeed and show initiative.

Having at least one empowered

member can make the whole team feel

more positive as a whole. Many team

leaders do not know how or are not willing

to empower a team. Listed below are some

ways to help you show your team initiative

and effort.

Have an Open Line of Communication

The first and foremost thing you should do is show your team members open

communication. They need to be able to talk to each other if there is a problem and

not feel like their opinions don’t matter. Everyone’s opinion in the team should be

heard by everyone else. Make sure they feel like they are taking a stand and helping

out just as much as every other team mate. Remember to take their opinions into

consideration and praise them, even if you are thinking about taking a different

approach.

Reward Your Employees

Another thing you can do is reward them when you see any improvement. Instead of

complaining when they fail to do something right, look for any improvement that you

can praise them with. Words of encouragement can go a long way! Give your

employees a chance to try new things and learn different assets. They may have a

different way of thinking than you do, and might even try something new that ends

up being more successful. Give them a chance to be leaders.

Provide Them with Information

Remember to provide your team with all of the information that they need. Most

leaders tend to leave out some important information and leave the team to do tasks

should be shared with all team members equally. This is where the leader can answer

any questions and make sure all members are on the right page.

Knowing Their Boundaries and Roles

Just like the leader, every team member needs to be aware of their roles and

boundaries. Make sure each person knows their role and responsibility so they do not

create any drama with any of the other members. Keep track of who works well

together!

Show Your Team How Much You Appreciate Them

Lastly, remember to appreciate each and every team member. The

part of a team, not just to be there for the money. You can celebrate achievements

by throwing a little pizza party. Sometimes, just a “thank you” is enough to convince

someone to stay as part of the team and can motivate them to do mor
