Pro-empowerment of Employees: I was somewhat surprised to see that our text is pro empowerment of employees. Top management (staff level) at Chrysler assumes supervisors and area manager's micro manage their subordinates. I do not agree with this. Those in my department are mine and I manage them as I see fit within the confines of the contract they signed. I empower all of my people. Employees become more capable and get more done from authority, access, and knowledge that would not have otherwise been received. Without doing so, every day would be a complete failure. However, negatives do exist- the more work competed will always net more work put on the table. Any opinion to share?
