Empowerment vs Freedom

Empowerment is one of the most misunderstood ideas in leadership. The confusion begins with the assumption that empowerment and freedom are interchangeable.In this week’s episode of THiNK, we unpack the difference between empowerment and freedom and explore the idea of 'degrees of empowerment'. We look at how, when this framework is understood and lived within a business, it can create greater clarity around where people have autonomy and responsibility, and in turn create the conditions for stronger performance.THiNK, the podcast that exists to spark and ignite thinking that empowers human ingenuity.If you are a curious person who likes to challenge the status quo and explore different perspectives, then THiNK is for you.Each week we publish a new article on Substack based on an idea we have observed in business.
