"I think my long-term colleagues John Carlos and Alan Randolph helped me nail down what it takes to empower any organization.”
—Ken Blanchard

Empower your workforce by moving from a command-and-control mindset to a supportive, responsible environment. Ken Blanchard, John P. Carlos, and Alan Randolph describe how to build ownership and trust by using three keys to making empowerment work in any organization.

• Share information with everyone
• Create autonomy through boundaries
• Replace old hierarchies with self-managed teams

In this second edition to Empowerment Takes more than a Minute, the authors provide a new introduction that explains how empowerment has moved beyond the fad stage and become essential for effective organizations in today's dynamic and complex world. They have also updated the text and characters for today's technologically sophisticated business world. Finally, they added an epilogue that reinforces the difficulty of moving to empowerment and suggests some tools to help managers and team members succeed in the journey.
