An empowered organization is one in which individuals have the knowledge, skill, desire, and opportunity to personally succeed in a way that leads to collective organizational success. It's always useful to know where a friend-and-relation is, whether you want him or whether you don't. The first rule to tinkering is to save all the parts.
