Compare and Contrast the key differences between power and empowerment.
Power and empowerment are two very different things. Someone can give an individual power but empowerment is accepted by the individual.
Power is given by an external source, it's the capacity to have others do what you want. In order to get more power you must take it away from someone else, and it ultimately leads to competition.
Empowerment is determined within yourself. Ultimately anyone can have it depends on if you want it yourself or not. It is the capacity to have others do what they want and is not influenced by outside resources. In order to get it, it does not mean taking it away from others and it leads to a form of cooperation.
When people have empowerment, they have a sense of Self-Efficacy, self-determination, personal consequence, meaning and trust.
