successfully, or the ability to gain them
• Meaningfulness – comprehension of the
significance and value of the work
• Choice – some involvement in deciding the
scope of work and how it is to be done
• Progress – feedback on work including
rewards tied to performance*

Empowering
Coaching
Follower is capable and
experienced, but may lack
motivation or confidence
for independent action.
Leader steps back from
operational details and joins
decisions as needed.
Follower has improved
competence and skills and is
applying them in new
situations; is beginning to
see context.
Leader defines roles and
tasks and asks for input.
Delegating
Follower is experienced and
accomplished; acts
independently.
Leader is involved with
strategic direction, problem
solving but control with
follower.
Directing
Follower is new to position
or work; may lack skills
needed and emotional
connection to work.
Leader defines work,
teaches skills, make
decisions
