  • Choosing Authority Levels for Team Members – NOOP.NL
    " * Level 1: Tell: You make decisions and announce them to your people. (This is actually not empowerment at all.)
    * Level 2: Sell: You make decisions, but you attempt to gain commitment from workers by “selling” your idea to them.
    * Level 3: Consult: You invite and weigh input from workers before coming to a decision. But you make it clear that it's you who is making the decisions.
    * Level 4: Join: You invite workers to join in a discussion and to reach consensus as a group. Your voice is equal to the others.
    * Level 5: Advise: You attempt to influence workers by telling them what your opinion is, but ultimately you leave it up to them to decide.
    * Level 6: Confirm: You let the team decide first, with the suggestion that it would be nice, though not strictly necessary, if they are able to convince you afterward.
    * Level 7: Delegate: You leave it entirely up to the team to deal with the matter, while you go out and have a good time."
