You have decided to provide information to enhance empowerment among your employees. The information should be relevant to the employees' tasks and department.
 
  Indicate whether the statement is true or false.

Question 2

Many managers and employees are reluctant to accept empowerment, but they are even more reluctant to offer empowerment.
 
  If a rationale offered by management is I'm willing to empower people, but when I do, they either mess things up or try to grab all the glory, the issue is a need for control.
  Indicate whether the statement is true or false.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: FALSE
Explanation: In this case, the issue is personal insecurities, not a need for control.
