Managers have a business opportunity to improve enterprise performance management by empowering employees.

This costly resource is on the payroll already.  Many have longevity and a cultural history that can be managed for the "beneficial future".

Harold "Red" Poling, Ford President, 1985-1990, helped make Ford profitable with the launch of the Sable/Taurus models.

Business management styles contribute greatly to how an enterprise values employee empowerment.  If yours does, the Society's Study Guide instructs how to use quality assurance behaviors, positive recognition, statistical process control, on line surveys, and strategic culture change to get the most out of empowering employees.  When launched, there is a direct link to improved worker satisfaction, less absenteeism, less turnover, voluntary extra effort, and effective corrective action when employees are empowered.
