If the process does not cause discomfort amount executives, it is not culture changing. It is business as usual and not a prescription for the future. Although new thinking is necessary, our core competencies are our experience pool, the foundation on which the future is built. It is vital to know your competencies before the future vision is designed. Whether the issues are hard or soft, they must be identified and understood.
Empowerment means proper use and nurturing of needed core competencies.
Train Adequately Without training, the application of empowerment has no consistency or order. These questions need to be answered and included in the training sessions. People may need to learn new skills, including listening, questioning, mentoring, and conflict resolution. Companies should engage organizational development consultants to provide confidential mentoring services to those empowered. In other words, training should be custom designed.
