Abstract

Given the dynamic nature of the business environment, companies must never make the mistake of thinking that strategies that .have been proven successful in the past will be effective for all time. They need flexibility, speed, responsiveness and openness to new technology to deal with uncertainty.

It is imperative the managers create an atmosphere of empowerment. By giving employees the responsibility and the authority to get things done their way, employees will feel as if they are valued and trusted employees. To encourage employee empowerment, management must make available training and leadership seminars that will encourage and stimulate employee empowerment.
