Vaguely empowered revisited

Recently I wrote a blog post on feeling vaguely empowered. Though this is still valid I've since realised that the feeling I had was simpler and more powerful.

Fear.

The upshot is that I don't need a meeting with my manager to figure out my boundaries. I just needed the courage to do what I feel is right.

This in turn doesn't put limits on me. Will I step over the boundaries sometimes? Most likely. Could I get into trouble sometimes? Probably.

I must remember to dig down deep for courage if I truly think that it will benefit the team and the company.

Note: the solution in the previous post might be helpful for people that are new to being empowered and are finding their feet.
