Empowering leaders empower people throughout the organization to make decisions and drive change. They aim to develop great leaders, not just followers. Unpredictable leaders create hesitant followers, domineering leaders create compliant ones, secretive leaders create guarded ones, and passive leaders create disengaged followers. On the contrary, empowering leaders produce other great leaders by leading themselves first, focusing on personal growth and self-leadership to inspire and empower others.
