Are you a

Controler, Enabler or a
Leader
 Introduction
• Do you empower
the people you work
and live with or do
you enable and
control them?
 Important
• If you want to increase
productivity, happiness
and time in the day to
complete your own "to-
do's", you must learn
to let go of your fears
and start empowering
people.
 Empowerment
Benefits
• When you empower people, you
develop their skills, abilities and
confidence.
• When you control people, you enable
them to become lazy and fearful.
• Empowerment helps reduce
frustrations and stress levels;
moreover, it helps people grow,
achieve more and live a great life.
 Leading a Team
• Whether you are leading a team or
yourself, letting go of control, fear,
perfectionism and your ego will
make you an effective leader and
an emotionally healthy individual.
• By not trusting others to perform
tasks on their own, you squelch
their creative problem solving and
"can-do, will-do" attitudes.
 Leading a Team
• People stop thinking on their own and
take you for granted because they
know you will complete the task at
hand. In return, you feel taken
advantage of, disrespected and used.
• It is up to you to do something
different, if you want something
different to happen. If you do not do
anything to change your situation, you
no longer have the right to complain,
be critical or act miserable.
 The Effective Leader
• To become an effective leader of
your team or yourself, you must
acknowledge your fears about
delegating and ask people to
complete their share of the
workload.
• If not, you will continue to be the
only person doing all the work.
You must delegate tasks and
empower people into action.
 How to Delegate and
Empower People
• Shift your fears about delegating into
positive thoughts.
• Delegate tasks that match individual
strengths.
• Define and communicate specific
expectations.
• Provide necessary training and tools.
• Monitor progress and provide feedback.
• Celebrate successes!
 Why People do not
Delegate
• There are many reasons why
people do not delegate.
• It is usually quicker for you to
complete tasks yourself;
however, in the long-run, you
use up more time completing
the task repeatedly.
 Conclusion
• You must think of the
many long-term rewards
that delegating achieves
for everyone involved.
• Wouldn't you prefer to
have less stress and
more happiness in your
life?
