Empowerment

The doctors employ empowerment as a tactic in our office to make each employee feel special and needed. Employment is described in chapter 9 (pg 292) as the "sharing of power and decision making with employees through delegation..." The doctors have created an environment where each employee is give a specific task that they are to perform in the office in addition to their regular job description. One person is in charge of making the schedule, one person is in charge of ordering medical supplies, office supplies, etc. This gives each employee an added sense of responsibility and importance.
