Explanation:

Authors Ken Blanchard, John P. Carlos, and Alan Randolph, in their book Empowerment Takes More Than a Minute, suggest that the three tools managers should be using to empower their staff are information sharing with everyone, creating autonomy through boundaries and replacing old hierarchies with self-managed teams.

Some of the perceived benefits of employee empowerment include greater job satisfaction and motivation, reduced supervisory requirements and increases in innovation and creativity. Disadvantages include increase risk as staff become more entrepreneurial and more likely to take chances. Security can also be a problem because all important information must be shared for employees to take decisions on their own.
