Empowerment

A successful lawyer and firm owner, Mr Masry, has no idea when he hires Erin Brockovich that she is more akin to a force of nature than to a traditional employee. He wisely harnesses her potential by empowering her to investigate the practices of PG&E (Pacific Gas and Electric). Select a scene that you feel best illustrates either Mr Masry’s choice to empower Erin Brockovich or Erin’s free exercise of that empowerment. How does the scene you select demonstrate the leadership of empowerment? In your post, reference the readings and Module Notes and cite paraphrases or quotations as needed.  Leadership: The Art of Empowering Others [PDF File, 853KB] Conger, J. A. (1989).
