Empowering

In your every day work you will have opportunities to empower the people who use your service and their carers to achieve their best possible outcomes. You also have a role to play in empowering colleagues in your own team or partner organisations, as you work together to improve outcomes.

Empowering others may involve:

  • Listening to, valuing and acting on the expertise and contributions from people who use your service
  • Promoting the principles of citizen leadership
  • Ensuring everyone feels valued for their contributions
  • Sharing information and promoting effective knowledge management
  • Modelling positive leadership behaviours that support leadership at all levels.
