Developing And Empowering Others, Pretend that you have been tasked with informing your colleagues of best practices for developing and empowering others. Decide whom you will be training. Select an audience for your presentation (i.e., your workplace, school, place of worship, or volunteer organization) so you can make appropriate recommendations in your presentation. Bring to mind some examples of development and empowerment. Think of how development and empowerment are similar and different. Consider creating a Venn diagram to help you organize your thoughts as you compare and contrast the concepts of development and empowerment.

Select a view of leadership authority you think would be most likely to empower others in your chosen setting.
