The most straightforward — and perhaps obvious — advice is to help leaders learn the skills it takes to boost employee empowerment. Specifically, leaders should be trained to empower their followers by delegating authority to them on important tasks, giving them as much autonomy as possible, supportively coaching as employees take on more and more responsibilities, sharing as much strategic and important information as possible, and asking for input when making key decisions. Research consistently shows that when managers engage in these behaviors, employees react by taking initiative and behaving proactively.
