Definitions So what does empowerment really mean? Empowerment has been defined and measured in many different ways. ![]() The aim of this chapter is to dig past the misuse, and overuse, of the term “empowerment” to reveal, identify, and clarify its utility and importance for political and civic leadership. To many, its frequently vague, meaningless usage (sometimes, ironically, for the purpose of co-opting or placating people) has given empowerment a bad name. Unfortunately, it also became an overused buzzword in consulting, self-help, and policy circles. Empowerment has been the subject of widespread and often thoughtful and careful theorizing, study, and application in the fields of social work, community psychology, health promotion, and organizational studies. ![]() ![]() ![]() On the job, McKnight was shot and nearly died (his partner was killed) to this day, he's still got a bullet lodged next to his heart as an unwelcome reminder.
