Teach employees to take responsibility. Don’t teach employees to be victims, that they're helpless, that they only will get ahead in life by receiving help or charity from leaders or co-workers.Ask them if they need the following to succeed:- Information- Resources- Moral support- Scheduling- Budget- Time- Motivation- Infrastructure- Authority- Education- SkillsAt first they will hesitate because they will believe that they should know all of this already.You will have to go through this list with them as a leader every time at every meeting until they start sharing it with you without you asking.This of course also means that you as a leader have to deliver the above when asked or, in case it is impossible because of lack of funding or something, you assist them in finding an alternative.Add to these deadlines and you will have a way more effective team then anyone else in your company or ecosystem that feels empowered because they feel supported and are able to take responsibility in their tasks.This all sounds simple but, no one actually does it.Does this make sense to you? Does this happen at your company?.Joppe

Empowering Instead of CateringMany many years ago I worked in a psychiatric hospital. We used a term: 'hospitalization'. Hospitalization means that by doing too many things for people you take away their ability to take care of themselves.I feel that the way the current system is set up in many companies it works against people who are trying to build a career. I see and hear it happen all the time.A couple of examples of remarks or questions in a coaching session:‘I wanna solve problems creatively but management won’t let me do it.’‘They say they are open to feedback but no one listens.’‘I tried to make changes but I am tired since nothing seems to work.’These are not expressions of power, these are expressions of desperation.There are so many experienced, well educated problem solvers looking for opportunities and so many employee happiness handbooks, HR’s and safe space teams but how many of those actually offer support that makes the employee shine in their role?Support becomes charity without any real results, which turns opportunity seekers towards apathy, depression and it does not make you look more attractive in the company. Actually, it will burn you out.What works is celebrating those who wanna grow, offering actual support to do so. Let them work outside of the box and create a space where they can take risks knowing that management has their back.I am a huge believer in empowering people and know that the only way to do this is together and give people responsibility by setting expectations.Everyone talks about it but no one takes the time to plan this and not a lot of people and institutions dare to expect a lot from employees.If we want and need change, we should stand up and raise our expectations of all parties involved and dare expect responsibility, dare to stand out and act.Do you feel that your employees want to take responsibility?Joppe
