                                                      Empowerment


        The Bottom Line


        The primary responsibility of supervisors or any leaders is to
        make those underneath them successful. We show respect for
        our employees when we provide them with the training and
        resources that lead to their success and ongoing development.
        As we challenge employees with new learning opportunities,
        they become increasingly more valuable and engaged, and they
        significantly increase the human capital of the organization.
        Reflect for a minute. Are you creating an environment in which
        employees can thrive or just survive? What suggestions and
        solutions can you take away from this chapter and begin imple-
        menting immediately to empower your employees?
           Like empowerment, the next RESPECT driver is critically
        related to the continued growth, development, and success of
        employees: supportive feedback.
