It's not just trying to give other people power, it's giving up some of your power so they get some of it" (Burkus, 2016, 27:56) ## Connections to Other Materials ### Empowerment and the Fundamental Option Stanier's suggestion that empowerment is giving up power so others can get some connects to Carey's idea in [[Practice of Leadership - Carey]] of the fundamental option as a choice between self-embeddedness or self-transcendence. The leader who only gives advice believes they have insight into the truth and attempts to "transform" the follower to conform with that truth. But the leader who asks more questions and is more coach-like chooses the fundamental option of self-transcendence and leaves themself open to transformation. --- # Personal Reflections & Application # Other References ## Tags
