Stewardship delegation

Stewardship delegation is focused on results instead of methods. It gives people a choice of method and makes them responsible for results. It takes more time in the beginning, but it's time well invested...Trust is the highest form of human motivation. It brings out the very best in people. But it takes time and patience, and it doesn't preclude the necessity to train and develop people so that their competency can raise to the level of that trust.

管理式授權注重的是結果而不是方法。它讓人們可以選擇方法，並讓他們對結果負責。一開始需要花更多的時間，但投資的時間是值得的……信任是推動人員的最高形式。它能帶出人們最優秀的一面。但這需要時間和耐心，也不排除訓練和培養人員的必要性，以便他們的能力能夠提升到信任的水準。
