Empowered leaders allow for conflict and creative tension in driving their business forward by asking if employees have a better strategy or if there are opportunities that have been missed. 
  
Understanding your Leadership signature before expanding the hierarchy allows high-quality interaction and creativity from a wider team. Employees that are engaged in the ambitions of the company will bring energy (and sustainability) to your team.
