The first time I realised I was actually being bullied was when I was in secondary school and, back then, the bullying stemmed more from rivalry than anything else. Even the teachers were trying to outdo each other, presenting the top student of their class and form group as 'the one' surpassing all others." Chapter 1-The School Yard Bully, Journey to Empowerment. These are the first powerful words to confront you as you begin reading Journey to Empowerment: Tackling the Bullies Within, Jacqueline A Hinds' insightful book into her own bullying, harassment and being ostracised experiences. A tapestry of her struggle on how she was treated from a young age well into her adulthood, it documents how abuse impacted her mind, dismantled her emotional state to the point of driving her into subsequent downturns and potential depression. But, with fortitude and drive, Jacqueline was able to overcome the toughest of challenges inflicted by those threatened by her talents, skill, and character.

An action guide and macro-level understanding of the process required to foster the workplace culture envisioned in Empowerment Takes More Than a Minute. As Ken Blanchard, John Carlos, and Alan Randolph clearly demonstrated in their previous bestseller, Empowerment Takes More Than a Minute, empowerment is not a goal that can be achieved in a minute. Empowerment is a process that requires ongoing effort, awareness, and commitment to transforming the hierarchy. This essential guide offers managers detailed, hands-on answers to their real-life questions about how, exactly, they can navigate the journey to empowerment. Written in an easily accessible Q&A format, the book closely examines and expands on the three keys to empowerment originally presented in Empowerment Takes More Than a Minute—sharing information, creating autonomy through boundaries, and replacing the hierarchy with teams. It clearly outlines the promises and challenges of each stage of the journey, providing managers with thought-provoking questions, clear advice, effective activities, and action tools that will help them create a culture of empowerment. Wherever they are in the journey, managers will find a clear roadmap in this user-friendly action guide.

In the newly updated edition of this classic empowerment business fable—over 400,000 copies sold—Ken Blanchard and John Carlos show you how to shift to an empowered, employee-driven work environment. Empowerment Takes More Than a Minute tells the story of a young manager whose attempts to turn his troubled company around through traditional top-down, command-and-control management are failing. Reluctantly, he contacts an expert in empowerment, even though he feels like he's already tried that approach. Step by step, the expert helps him understand why his past and present efforts have fallen short and figure out what he needs to do to create an empowered workforce. The process as it unfolds is complex, paradoxical, and counterintuitive—but well worth the effort. This new edition dispels the notion that empowerment is a bygone fad. No matter what its name, the essential concept—that organizations can achieve extraordinary results by recognizing and taking advantage of the skills, experience, and knowledge already existing in the organization—will always be relevant. Although sometimes arduous, the journey to empowerment is well worth embarking on. In fact, unleashing the power of people in an organization may be the only way to continue to do business in a competitive, complicated marketplace.
