Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Empowerment means giving employees more authority and responsibility to make their own decisions. Autocratic leadership, which relies on issuing orders and expecting people to follow them, is not consistent with empowerment. Managers in firms where empowerment is practiced typically give fewer detailed instructions and spend more time coaching, assisting, and counseling workers.
