People’s satisfaction and levels of stress are directly linked to the
amount of freedom and perceived power that they possess.
By giving staff the responsibility for their decisions, both in good and
bad decisions, you are encouraging them to find an innovative way to
come out on top and solve the problem.
When they know that their choices matter they become empowered
and are more likely to be more creative in the workplace.
