Empowerment Profile Theoretical Background

Participants create two profiles: one based on their assessment of their own empowerment, the second profile based on scores compiled from the leader's employees' assessments of their own empowerment. The assessment measures perceptions of empowerment along 8 dimensions, including autonomy, climate, control, and influence. Together, the two charts provide a complete look at empowerment in the leader's work environment.

Empowerment Profile Leader Version includes the leader's self-assessment and the profiles. Background information and an action planning section help leaders understand how to empower themselves and their employees.

Empowerment Profile Employee Version contains only the employee's self-assessment. It is designed to provide leaders with data on how empowered their employees actually feel.
