How does delegation differ from empowerment? And what does this have to do with Agile Excellence? The Agile Excellence series breaks down Agile by Care & Growth and looks at the Modern Agile manifesto to achieve successful teams. Agile teams work with delegation on a daily basis. Thus working towards self-organized, autonomous teams.
Empowerment means “the authority or power given to someone to do something.” While delegation is shifting of authority and responsibility. This is usually a leader or manager to another.
