To help facilitate positive changes in an organization, training and development is paramount. Great leaders know the importance of empowerment of employees and understand that great “leaders enable others to act not by hoarding the power they have but giving it away” (Kouzes and Posner, pg. 21). Employees who are encouraged to engage in training and development often “feel strong, capable, and committed” to their companies. (Kouzes and Posner, pg. 21) Employees who feel that their employers are investing in them are often more committed to the company in trying times and are more likely to stay with the company through tough times instead of finding more stable employment. Through training and expansion of responsibilies the employees is able to see the big picture and “Through that relationship, leaders turn their constituents into leader themselves” (Kouzes and Posner, pg. 21).
