supporting employees

After you have figured out how to look at the data, go use it, the next step in the process is to enable people and empower them. You can do this by encouraging your employees to do their best. You can tell them that you have full confidence in them at all times and it is ok to mess up. If they do you will not get on to them you will help them to improve themselves for the next situation. Empowering employees is a critical part in organizations, if an employee thinks that if they mess up they will get fired or fussed at then they will be less likely to do anything that would help the organization. An empowered employee will find new ways to do things to make the organization more effective and efficient and this will propel the organization forward. Just think of the employees at an organization like the engine in a car the managers control the car but the engine does all the work. If the managers give the engine plenty of gas and keep the oil changed the engine will go far but if the managers cut off the fuel to the engine then the car will not go far. This would be the same if the managers gave the engine plenty of fuel but no oil, the engine would try but then it would cease. Managers have to give the resources needed to do the job and the empowerment to do the job as well.
