Connie's motivational quotes for today is by \u2013 Stephen Covey
\u201cAn empowered organization is one in which individuals have the knowledge, skill, desire, and opportunity to personally succeed in a way that leads to collective organizational success."
Would you call yourself a leader who empowers or micromanages your team?\xa0 Do you trust that your people understand the organizational strategies and are able to put the strategies into practice?\xa0 Micromanaging is dangerous and ineffective, yet so many leaders fear letting go of control and empower their teams. Why?
Today your host Connie Whitman, speaks with Kevin Hancock.\xa0 Kevin is the CEO of Hancock Lumber, one of the oldest companies in America and six-time recipient of the \u2018Best Places to Work in\xa0Maine\u2019 award.
In 2010, at the peak of the national housing and mortgage market collapse,\xa0Kevin acquired a rare neurological voice disorder called Spasmodic\xa0Dysphonia (SD). When his own voice became weakened, he developed a\xa0new leadership style based on strengthening the voices of others.

His new\xa0book,\xa0The Seventh Power \u2013 One CEO\u2019S Journey Into The\xa0Business Of Shared Leadership,\xa0shares\xa0the philosophy, values and strategies Hancock Lumber Company has embraced on its journey toward becoming an employee-centric company - where leadership responsibilities are broadly shared rather than power coming from the top down.
