Empowerment


Conger stresses four ways in which effective leaders empower subordinates.

1. They structure tasks so that staff members have success and are rewarded.

2. They use verbal persuasion to convince followers that they are able to successfully complete difficult tasks.

3. Effective leaders reduce tensions and build excitement and pride in the organization.

4. Good leaders model empowerment through their own behavior, showing that they, too, are empowered when interacting with their superiors and thereby demonstrating what self-confidence can accomplish.

အေမရိကန္ Catholic Bipshop Robert Bowman က အေမရိကန္အစုိးရႏွင့္ အေမရိကန္လူထုအား ဆံုးမစာ

ဗီယက္နမ္မွာ ယူအက္ေလတပ္ရဲ႕ ဗိုလ္မွဴးအေနနဲ႕ အလုပ္လုပ္ခဲ့တဲ့.. Robert Bowman က ကက္သလစ္ Bipshop ျဖစ္လာျပီး ၂၀၀၁ စက္တင္ဘာ ၁၁ အေရးအခင္းမတိုင္ခင္ သံုးႏွစ္ေလာက္မွာ အေမရိကန္အစုိးရနဲ႕ အေမရိကန္လူမ်ိဳးေတြကုိ National Catholic Reporter မွ ဆံုးမစာ..



"We are not hated because we practise democracy, value freedom, or uphold human rights. We are hated because our government denies these things to people in third world countries whose resources are coveted by our multinational corporations. That hatred we have sown has come back to haunt us in the form of terrorism .... Instead of sending our sons and daughters around the world to kill Arabs so we can have the oil under their sand, we should send them to rebuild their infrastructure, supply clean water, and feed starving children...



In short, we should do good instead of evil. Who would try to stop us? Who would hate us? Who would want to bomb us? That is the truth the American people need to hear."
