Empowerment programs swept through the corporate world in the last two decades. Unfortunately, bolting empowerment programs onto existing power structures often led to the appearance of empowerment--without the actual power. Going beyond empowerment means that people have all the power they need from the very moment they join a company--regardless of the level of responsibility or complexity. They are immune from threats or coercion. They are free to seek any needed resources and relationships on their own initiative. And they are held fully accountable for results by themselves, their colleagues and the organization's mission. Les programmes d'autonomisation ont envahi le monde de l'entreprise au cours des deux dernières décennies. Malheureusement, le fait de greffer ces programmes sur les structures de pouvoir existantes a souvent donné l'impression d'une autonomisation, mais sans pouvoir réel. Aller au-delà de l'autonomisation signifie que les gens ont tout le pouvoir dont ils ont besoin dès le moment où ils rejoignent une entreprise, quel que soit le niveau de responsabilité ou de complexité. Ils sont à l'abri des menaces ou de la coercition. Ils sont libres de rechercher les ressources et les relations nécessaires de leur propre initiative. Et ils sont tenus pleinement responsables des résultats par eux-mêmes, leurs collègues et la mission de l'organisation.
