Spent the majority of my career trying to explain to my managers why I thought their management programs were wrong and failed. Then read a book and bang, author gets it.

They sound like “I’m here to help you grow” “Let’s find ways to unlock my teams intrinsic motivation” It assumes the leader is the one in control, and who keeps control

so two types of "empowerment" 1. general: "I'm here to help you grow" 2. specific: "here are the tools/resources/authorities you need to do your job well" (1) feels wrong because that kind of power is not the manager's to give in the first place
