Will taking action make the situation better?

Trust—McDonald’s Survey Responses to-How can you Empower others in your Life?

Trust people Support them

Allow them to speak their mind and let ideas come to life

Maintain a positive outlook (when possible) display reliability

Let them follow their instincts, let people learn what works for them

By trusting them to do tasks I normally do and letting them know I depend on them to follow through.

Trust in others to do their jobs without micro managing through concise communication

Give my trust to those who report to me by not asking for detailed check-ins on their projects, and by allowing them to follow through on their ideas even if i am not sure it will work

We can’t control all of the things that can cause us stress

But . . . We can control our RESPONSE to them if we “Reflect” before we “React”

or

“It's not worth getting upset”“OH !#&$%!”

We do have a Choice!

Let’s Harness the Power of this group over the next 12 months and Let’s

Empower!!!

I propose that we as a group harness the power of all of this brainpower and talent and over the next

12 months to implement an Empowerment initiative that will be impactful, groundbreaking and

literally Life Changing!

It’s Empowerment Time!
