My behavior became consistent with the vision and I was aiming at the same target as everyone else. Bottom line is effective alignment gets people moving down the path. This leads to empowerment in a way that organizing rarely does. The last role of leadership is empowerment or enabling others to act. It is empowering organizational members to take responsibility and ownership.
People have enormous talent, ingenuity, intelligence, creativity.
Most of it lies dormant. When everyone shares a common vision and mission, the individual and the organizational purposes overlap and great synergy is created. A fire is ignited within people that unleashes their talent, ingenuity, and creativity to do whatever is necessary. I m currently participating in a task force to improve our work environment. We have been empowered to create a fun environment that will help us retain and attract employees.
