MBA - Managing by adultery

"I feel appreciated here," Christine said. "My opinions are heard and valued."

"Managing by adultery" - that is, I treat my managers as adults with full authority, extraordinary freedom and they are expected to take the initiative.

Many managers continue to resist empowerment for fear of losing their own control, power and influence and a distrust of their staff.

Having climbed up through the ranks myself, I know that employees want to feel likeparticipants, not bench warmers.
